Looking around & getting feedback

I am a 67 yo retired military guy who is browsing around for a late model Tacoma to tow a trailer which I havent purchased yet. My wife doesn't like a full sized truck. Our decision making process is very very slow, we have been at this for over 2 years. We had a Highlander 2014 with 215K Mike's and traded it for a 2019 model with 7K. It's the last year the real window glass lifts independently to the rear hatch. I am now thinking I should have Tacoma'ed instead of Highlander'ed. So I'm here checking out stuff about the Tacoma.

My initial inclination is a 6cylinder with a long bed (6ft), 2017-2019 model year.....and adding a transmission cooler and oil cooler after purchase to accommodate trailer pulling. That's about it.

 

Welcome! What size trailer are you wanting to get, that will tell you what truck to get

 

We would size the trailer to the Tacoma. If we kept the Highlander we are @5K, which works and we have done that with the 2014. But a Tacoma is more versatile and practical when considering that I would retire my 1991 Dodge Dakota after the purchase of the Tacoma. That's the short answer
