    I am looking to get a Toyota Tacoma that can pull a 6x12 enclosed trailer. I am starting a business and be putting my supplies and products in the trailer. I would like your opinions on which would be the best to do this. I assume I will need a 6 cylinder.

    6x12 isn't overly big for a tacoma but you will definitely know its back there. What you fill it with is what you need to be careful about.

    I've towed the 6x12 uhaul quite a few times on the interstate with no issue. If I were going to do this on regular basis I would either install a add a leaf or airbags, a trailer brake controller, and an extra transmission cooler would be a good idea.

    It’s mostly all about the total weight. How much will the trailer and its cargo combined weigh?
