Towing a Mastercraft X-15

I just bought a 2006 X-15 and am looking to buy a truck to tow it around with and so far, I really like the Tacoma.

Weights:
Boat: 3575lbs
Trailer: 1200lbs (estimate on high end)
Full Gas Tank: 270lbs
Total: 5045lbs

Plus any People, Gear... etc. in the truck or boat.

Does anyone have this boat or a boat similar to it with any experience in towing it with a Tacoma?

I don't plan on pulling it for any real distance. 50 miles would be the most, with the exception of maybe once a year being longer.

How does it handle the rig fully loaded with gas, people, gear... etc.?

One of my biggest concerns is loading and unloading the boat in the water. How does your truck handle this? How does is preform on steep, slippery or old ramps?

What Tacoma do you have?

Thanks for information. It is greatly appreciated.

I used to have an old chevy without 4wd and it had an open differential and I could pull my malibu and trailer up a slick ramp with only the occasional chirp....i'm pretty sure traction won't be an issue with the tacoma...locking rear or 4wd

 

Non related. I used a double axle car trailer to haul a Vertical Milling Machine bout 4500lbs total. Going down a medium grade hill, no trailer brakes (yeah im dumb) grandma pulls out infront and slams hard. I chirped to high heavens and stopped on a dime. Im pretty confident now on the braking.
