    Has anyone done any towing with their '16 yet? I will be looking to push the towing capacity during next years race season. Car and trailer weight near 6000# plus tires and gear. Looking to see how well, or not so well these tow.

    If you're going to be going up and down steep grades, go with a full size like a Tundra. If you live in a flat area like Florida, midsize like the Tacoma.

    Yeah that would be pushing it for me and plenty of justification for a full size. Post some pics of the racecar!

    I wouldn't tow more than 80% of the capacity, which is ~5400lbs. But I'm just a dbag, so there's that.

    Where can I buy a new loaded full size for under $35k? I'll go buy one today.

    Stupidest reply ever. The Toyota is meant to tow. That is why it has a tow package. Some people like myself have small travel trailers. Mine is 3,000 lbs. It should be able to handle that much.

    That is a fair thing to say. I personally wouldn't tow more than 4,000 with a new Tacoma but as I said, it should be able to handle my 3,000 lb trailer with relative ease.

    Not really a "race car" but its my 4-door street car that gets raced. Makes around 550-575 crank HP. I drive it to the tracks now, but would prefer to trailer so i can turn the wick up.

    I love those cars. There is a guy driving one around near my parents that makes my arm hair stand as he lopes by. Cammed out big time and sounds crazy.

    Yes. If the automaker rates it to that, that means they have no concerns with it. Most things have safety factors which means, it is rated to tow that but was probably tested at 1.5 to 2 times that weight.
