    You would be fine towing it short distances but your going to need a WD hitch or air bags. your tongue weight will be over 600lbs. Pulling it up the ramp could be interesting. My boat weights in around 3800 and on steep ramps I use 4lo for traction.

    most of the ramps i use are corrugated (ridges for traction) and pretty well maintained. but the 4 low option is always good to have. only off roading i do is on the beach, so airbags are a good possibility. i had questioned the tongue weight, that was my only concern.

    On a properly loaded trailer tongue weight has to be between 10-15% of the total weight.

    Got them online from A1 Auto.
    Fit/finish just like factory but don't expect the turn signals to work unless your truck is already equipped.

    Pretty straight forward. I followed the existing harness in the door and threaded them through the rubber door tube. The wires come out be the kick panel. I used my mirror led's as markers and found the parking wires by the kick panel. The heat was run though a relay to an acc power source and controler by a factory looking dash switch. I did this job over 6 months ago so no pics of the install.

    Sorry but that's over doing it. It maybe OK for weight but the length will make it a sway nightmare.

    no at all, taco tow it very well, gas milleage suck but going 90-100 km/h, i'm returning from a trip of approx. 2 000km and i got between 22-24L/100km.

    Sumosprings, weight distribution hitch, Tekonsha P3 brake controller, tires inflated at 50lbs, that's it.

    Not that bad, I've just returned from a trip of about 2 000 km and the tacoma made it very well, a light swaying but I had no anti-sway bar either. if you don't go over 110 km/h, it tow well
