    I used my Tacoma to tow my boat today for the first time. Boat is about 4000 pounds and trailer another 1000 or so. I am very happy with how the Taco performed. Best part was that on the ramp I use, the back wheels of the Taco never had to touch the salt water! I'm pretty happy right now.

    Only about 20 miles each way. I know, that's not far but it's all I need and the Taco worked great.
