    Too heavy.

    Everyone will opine differently. But I have two tips for you:
    1) Dry weight is sales bullshittery. Ignore it. Only shop on Gross weight.

    2) for campers, because of their weird center of gravity and horrible aerodynamics, try your level best to get the gross weight at no more than 60% of the tow capacity.

    For the Tacoma, that means a gross that doesn't exceed 3900, which means a dry of under 3000. Anything larger will put major wear and tear on the truck, and more importantly it makes for a high stress drive.

    You're on vacation. Don't arrive at the campsite grumpy.

    Live with a smaller trailer or a bigger truck.
