Utility Trailer Towing Thoughts/Experience

I’m looking at getting a Triton utility trailer to haul a side by side and wondering what my experience will be towing with my 2022 Tacoma Pro (has tow package). The side by side is about 2,800 lbs. Trailer is a 16 foot double axle and weighs about 1,200 lbs. Additional weight would be me, wife, dog and supplies for a day of riding. We live in WY close to the Bighorn mountains and a typical trip would be 20 to 60 miles up and sometime over the mountains on paved roads to trails. Elevation gain 2000/3000 feet plus. Any opinions/experience on how the Tacoma will handle the load/trailer combo? I’ll be adding a Redarc controller. Thanks

 

That a lot of weight but it shouldn’t present any real problems. Since your trips are quite short, 20 to 60miles I’d say no problem at all. When climbing in elevation stay in the right slow lane cause everyone is going to be passing you. (You’ll get use to it). And remember even with trailer brakes you need a lot longer to stop than without the trailer. Leave extra distance in front of you.
Enjoy, you’ll be just fine on those short trips.
