    A 1st gen Tacoma weighs ~3500 lbs. I don't see how towing it on a dolly would be a problem. Take your time and be careful

    Expect that tow dolly to do the driving. Get a trailer.

    When I still had my 07 I towed a 2nd gen 4Runner and a Jeep Cherokee on a car dolly for a friend. I only went about 50 miles with each. I do not recommend it. I would get a trailer if I had to do it over.

    I assume that the taco you are going to tow is not an automatic tranny. If it is you’ll need to put it 9n a trailer.
