    if I only would have test drove it with a small trailer on it I would have not made this mistake! Empty 8 x 12 trailer winds this v6 up high when towing it. Also just had the dealer pull the motor to replace front seal due to oil leak. Only 2k over warranty and Toyota covered a whopping third of cost. So disappointed with Toyota customer service and my Tacoma!

    I’m confused why you are disappointed in Toyota’s customer service when they are fixing your truck.

    That’s odd. My V6 taco pulls a 3000lb camper just fine without revving the engine...
