    2014 SR5 4x4 V6 DCSB Auto w/ tow package.

    It is 4200# with 630# tongue dry. Figured I would just tow it with 10 or so gallons of water for emergency road shower and use plastic utencils haha!

    I've towed a 3800# rental TT with a dual sport bike in the bed with full compliment of passengers before and it was a stressful drive with frequent fuel stops. Back the I was bone stock, but now I have better leaf springs and a brake controller.

    Hopefully an Airstream will tow better in comparison to a block shape. Interested to see how other Taco owners fair with these.

    Airstreams are the easiest trailers to tow.
    I would like a airstream but the price keeps me away.

    Does that one have a Jackson Pollock painting hanging over the bed, or drawers full of gold bullion and $100 bills, or a gun room?

    I'd buy it if Anna Kendrick came with it.
