New to towing w/ tacoma

J

 

I agree that you're being a little over-cautious... but build it however YOU feel comfortable. Your truck will handle it fine.

I own a small one-man landscaping business, and tow a 3500# 6x10 enclosed with all the gear loaded on it. Granted, my 2012 has the factory tow package, but it handles the trailer just fine.

One thing I did was add a set of Firestone Ride-Rite airbags to the rear suspension. These trucks are really weak in the suspension dept. Huge difference they made

More towing info than you will know what to do with.

We have a 19ft. Wilderness TT at 3000lbs. In my opinion the truck does OK towing it. Not great but not bad.
