What is the most you towed with your taco.

I was told this weight in at almost 7300lb not includin trailer. Pulled just fine. Wish it was put back further on the trailer. But I'm thinking more of the line of 4k weight.

Looks like you are riding on the bump stops.

I've towed 2 yards of type 2 base in a trailer that weighs just under a ton (just over 7k lbs total). Glad I didn't have to go far.

I love that the trailer has four different hub caps on it, that's awesome!
Agree that it is not loaded properly at all.

Heaviest my Tacos seen is a three rail motorcycle trailer and a Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 on it.
I save the Toy Hauler duty for the Diesel.

Yeah 4k including the trailer sounds more realistic. Cedars usually A LOT lighter than oak.
