    I have a 2012 Tacoma Extra Cab 4.0L V6 6 Speed Manuel. I would like to know my tow capacity. It’s the TRD Off Road package.
    And does having a manual transmission affect it’s capacity?

    So, you've got the Mexican transmission, it's manual.

    The tow rating is 6500 lbs. But in the real world 4500-5000 is a more realistic. You need to stay under the max tow weight AND the max payload rating. The tongue weight will put you over payload with a 6500 lb trailer if you have anything but a 150 lb driver in the truck
