    For the trailer it should be a 5ft and for the tacoma it should be 6ft - anything else is heresy.

    How does that affect the approach and departure angles for each? Versus 6' Taco and 5' trailer? :thumbsup:

    My measly 65 comments defer to your +13K comments, but I do see you have a double cab and I have an access cab. I've never liked towing anything, but the looks of that trailer does not thrill me.

    I was being facetious. I also think it's all rather silly.

    I know you were joking, I’m just impressed that anyone has +13k comments. Departure angle has always concerned me, especially when I have a bike on the back - it really changes things, can’t imagine what it would be like towing a trailer through difficult trails.

    13K is nothing.
