    What are your thoughts on the length of 30’?
    It’s a 1968 SOVEREIGN. 4640 dry, 415 tongue.

    I think a half ton full size will handle it just fine.

    With a good weight distributing hitch it will be fine.

    Get a half ton truck or a smaller trailer.

    That is way to much trailer for a Tacoma.

    Too much trailer. I had a 31’ KZ. My F150 did OK. My K2500 big block Suburban was great with it. With a Tacoma you will be unhappy at best. I wouldn’t.

    I wouldn’t.

    There sure is a lot more to towing a TT this big than just weight:

    - Wind resistance
    - Even with a good WDH, trailer sway can happen. That’s a lot of trailer back there swinging around.
    - Emergency braking or maneuvering could get sporty.
