    Thanks!

    Lots of stuff to consider. While I love the 2013 after driving the brand new 2019 I must say mine feels rather loose which is the issue I'm having towing. I most assuredly need a suspension upgrade to stiffen the ride and eliminate the pogo effect from the trailer.

    [EDIT]

    Airstream curb weight is 3600lbs and I probably add 500lbs to that so 4100.
    2013 Tacoma curb weight is 4100lbs

    With tow package I have 11000lbs Gross Combined Weight Rating so a ton to spare!

    Thanks!

    I pull a 3800 dry travel trailer with my lifted AT 18. Highway is no fun unless you are in love with sound of multiple down shifts to maintain speed in ANY amount of wind. ECT and S mode the truck likes 45mph and gets unhappy above that. I wish I had got the Tundra every time I tow. 2cents

    You don’t need to go crazy with suspension. You can put in a set of sumo springs or replace the rear shocks and the pogo will be gone.

    Yeah, i am in the same boat. Thinking of moving to a 1/2 ton for the rear seat space and towing capacity. Looking at a Ram 1500 Bighorn or Tundra platinum.
