Towing Suggestions

I would recommend that you stick to the lighter range of trailers.. sure the tacoma can tow 5800lbs... but is it economical, or safe? maybe not... I would look more in the 2500-4000lb range.. and realize this is without your stuff in the trailer... conisder all your clothing, food, supplies, trailer accessories, tools and all that adds up quickly to another 300-500lbs of gear or more. so getting a trailer thats soo close to your towing limits is not a good plan. you also need to consider that a double axle/tandem trailer may reduce your tongue weight, and make towing for longer distances more acceptable. also remember that your towing capacity is determined by mass, not capability. your brakes on your truck are only certified to stop with a max weight (vehicle and trailer included, under 10k lbs GVWR) thus vehicle weight is 4400lbs + 5600lbs trailer weight < 10,000lbs.... this includes passengers, addons, armour... etc so be sure to take that into account when you add up your weight.. I suggest you hit up a scale, and see what your trucks fully fuelled and current camping gear rig weight is... highway patrol can pull you over, put you on scales and site/fine you for overweight, and can impound your rig/trailer... so be extremely careful how heavy you go.
