    Hello everyone, great forum you have here.
    60 year old male. Out of nowhere became infatuated with Tacomas about 3 weeks ago. I've been casually looking at pickups for the last year as my 04 Silverado wont last forever. I somehow figure a new access cab, regular box, manual is the way to go. My wife is a few years older than me and can drive stick. Am I nuts?!?!

    Welcome to TW. Great truck as long as your not buying it for a primary tow rig. And yes access cab with a manual is a great combo.

    Thanks for the welcomes.
    I do very little towing apart from a 12' utility trailer used to move the odd load. Would the Tacoma be comfortable pulling this?

    Thanks for the links Black DOG Lila, that's some awesome information you put together!

    It can definitely handle a loaded 12’ utility trailer, even across country it you asked it to. They say the sweet spot for an rv is around 4,500lbs. I’m on my 3rd Toyota pickup and love them, just sold my 2018 f250 diesel tow rig because it was a pos with lots of electrical gremlins. I still need to figure out how to get rid of my rv (also gave working on the road) but either way Im back in a Tacoma and I couldn’t be happier. I need my truck just to pull my 12” fishing boat and a utility trailer once in a while and I have no doubt in it. I was once pulling a fully loaded u-haul utility trailer with my 2nd gen Tacoma through the snow in Utah, truck was towing just fine and I hit a slippery spot, truck instantly started to jack knife. I was sure I was going to wreck and the trucks safety systems started clicking and clacking and just straightened me out.
