In the owners manual for my '13, the towing capacity definitions and various vehicle charts start on pg 221.

This is for all Tacomas, not just mine. My 5 lug access cab 4cyl auto is 3500# tow.

The 4.0s are either 3500 or 6500, depending on tow package or no.

If you have the package, which you seem to have determined, you are rated for 6500# max, per Toyota.

Your 3500# trailer should be no issue.

I do recommend getting an owners manual if you don't have one. I'm pretty sure you can download a PDF version from Toyota for free. It contains a lot of good detail on towing terms, weight ratings of the vehicle and trailer, hitch types and loading, etc.

Edit: Here ya go. https://www.toyota.com/owners/resources/owners-manuals

The production date you need to know to select the right manual is in the label on your driver door jamb.

Also: added a pic (not mine) to post 23 above. It is a 2nd gen, stock location, but the grill is not in the vehicle so you have a nicer view. Now you know what you are looking for.

I read the owners manual today and you were spot on. Like they say: "When all else fails,read the instructions"
