is this trailer too big for my Tacoma?

That's before the water. It has a 43 gallon tank. At 8lbs a gallon, that's another 350lbs.

I figure it won't take much to get it over 8,000lbs. Pulling it to 10,000 feet elevation shouldn't be a problem, right?

 

You should be fine as long as you do a 3" lift, run 35" tires, and install at least 5 raptor lights. Also make sure and use CC especially in the hilly areas.

On second thought, for that size trailer I would run at least 7 raptor lights.

 

How do you have a 2wd, 2.4l AT 2021 TRD pro?

Toyota doesn’t make a 2.4 or a 4cyl pro or a 2wd pro

 

Skip to 2:40 for a preview of the OP pulling his trailer in Colorado.

I can't believe all you people saying that his truck can't pull it. It will pull it, we just don't know how far that it will pull it.

 

I wouldnt think so no, just make sure to hit that ECT button sir.

 

What if they gets ovtune, add a leafs, better shocks and a supercharger? Oh he needs a regear too along with a Marin crawler set up.

 

I installed a Pro Grill, but only four Raptor lights. I guess it's not an actual Pro until you have seven Raptor lights.

 

That's like trying to tow Texas with Rhode Island.

 

Its a new 2021 TRD PRO fessional towing edition. Has the 8 speed from a ford ranger.

 

At 80 MPH you stated earlier? I see no problem what so ever.

 

You’ll be fine OP. I routinely pull a 48’ semi trailer with my Tacoma between Florida and Alaska. I haul loads of BS and it’s uphill both ways in the snow.

 

...

An actual pro has 4 in the grille and 4 on the roof, so 8 in total. Get with the program bud.

 

I hope you are running dedicated snow tires.

 

Change my mind: People should catch a ban for starting stupid threads like this.

 

Don't forget a real hitch and bumper

 

Agreed

 

I didn't know it was April 1!
