    Need some help:

    I have 2014 Tacoma 4dr 5ft box 6cy TRD.
    I want to put my Harley 2010 Rocker in the bed (700 lbs) then tow my wife's 2011 Mazda 3 with a tow dolly from U-Haul. I am going from TX to NC, do you think I am going to have problems?

    Thanks

    Add up the total weight of your truck, the motorcycle, and the tongue weight on the car. This will give you the payload weight. As long as you're not over the max payload you're fine. My guess is that you'll be fine the Mazda is a light car.

    You will need airbags or some sort of spring helpers in the back to carry the Harley in the bed in addition to towing the car. I also highly recommend (from experience in the same truck with a 6spd manual) the full car trailer and not the front wheel dollie.
