    I'd like to buy a small fifth wheel trailer and tow it with my 98 V6 auto. I'm looking at something like this Bigfoot. Weight is about 3600 lbs and the pin weight is about 750 lbs. Am I crazy?RAM-WK-Mountains3.jpg

    Are you willing to give up the truck bed?

    Does anyone even make a setup for a Tacoma bed? It needs to perforate the bed and attach to the chassis doesnt it?

    What will the loaded weight of the trailer be?

    What is the tow capacity of your truck?

    Are you going to add a trans cooler, run synthetic fluid, add monitoring gauges?

    Trailer brakes?

    Suspension upgrades?

    Do I need to give up the truck bed? I don't know if anyone makes a Tacoma setup, that's why I'm asking if anyone's done it. Towing capacity is 5,000 lbs. I would add trans cooler etc.
