    Towing my 48 Plymouth tomorrow nearly 400 miles any concerns, total weight approx 5300 lbs. Everything looks great rides great at low speeds. The route is mostly flat here on east coast may a few bridges. I've tried reading all the post but it's very cumbersome. Anything I should be concerned about.

    Tacoma is a 2019 TRD Off-Road 4x4 long bed with v6.

    You will be fine. I have towed my wife's old car (that we have no longer) with a uhaul trailer. Combined weight of car and trailer was 6200. I barely felt it back there. I would keep it in 4th gear (or 5th for 3rd gens). Just make sure that it isn't hunting for gears and you will be fine.
