    Had a 16 tundra and a similar trailer... you won't get better gas mileage but you'll have more power it's give-and-take

    Hey, I've only took it to the coast, NC and SC beaches, but there are some hills around my area and it does good, I'm probably a little over the limit when fully loaded.

    This is mine when I got it a couple years ago. Small, yes, but does the job and tows well with a Taco. I lived in it for 5 months while selling my house and tomorrow it will complete its ~2,000 mile road trip while I relocate. Wasn't built to withstand a northern winter but it did alright considering it's an entry level budget trailer. I was a little apprehensive about taking it halfway across the country but it did fine. A good hitch makes a difference.

    I don't understand why you're talking it down. It's not the Taj Mahal but it is larger than most and more than adequate for glamping!:thumbsup:

    I get trailer envy sometimes looking though threads like these. However, I put mine through more than it was intended for and it's still living. It was more of an impulse buy at the time but after this experience I don't regret it.

    I tow a larger trailer than that and weighs 5300LB's loaded, travel with it everywhere and my 2013 tows it great. You are right, with a good WD set up it will tow great, and if the truck is set up right, it will tow even better. Nice TT,

    Adorable daughter, mine has grown up camping, fishing, hiking and kayaking.

    Cool trailer! So Cal? Is that a water heater box on the side?
