    I probably pull about 5k-5.2k when loaded with food etc. Then the added weight of whats in the taco....she does alright but by no means will it win races lol. Need to upgrade the trans cooler for stop/go traffic

    Going through this now specing out a new truck. They're rated to pull X but can't handle the tongue weight associated with a trailer that heavy. That one has a really low hitch weight though, I'm sure you'll be fine although likely legally overloaded to the letter of the law. Manufacturer specs are misleading at best when it comes to tow ratings.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    The Tacoma has 6500 lbs towing capacity and 650 lbs tongue weight rating stock (which I don't really believe). This one is way under that and I don't dry camp so no need to worry about water or anything. I also won't need anything in the truck with all that extra room in the camper. I'd be completely legal

    Yea with stock leafs it would absolutely ride bump stops. I used getting a trailer as part of my reasoning for the lift. I have a WD/anti sway system it rides great. I still put some stuff in the bed but not much, a block for the jack, a different grill, and then the dogs. Now I used the trailer as an excuse to get rotors/pads. I also don't dry camp so the tanks are never full. Always full hookups for me.

    The issue is payload, and this is where the manufacturers are very sneaky. Your payload for the Tacoma is only like 1,000 or 1,100 lbs. Figure a 600# tongue weight on a trailer loaded for camping and 4 people in the cab and you're over on GVWR before you put anything in the bed, let alone any of the steel plating that you're carrying. I'm sure the truck will handle it fine, but you'll be legally overloaded and likely were even with the pop-up in tow. It's just the games the manufacturers play with their ratings.
