    2012 Tacoma Crew Cab 4WD with factory tow package
    Hello-
    Just bought my first vehicle in over 13 years, ( not counting helping my kids buy theirs ). Got a 2012 Tacoma with factory tow package with hope to tow a small hardside, dry weight of between 3500-4000 lbs. is there a length that would be “too long” . I am looking at one 24’ hitch to bumper.

    Thanks. Really new to this. Have been an exclusively Honda guy for almost 20 years, but have wanted a truck for several years. Honda jut wouldn’t make one that would tow, and all my reading of the last few months had good things to say about the Tacoma in that department.
