Seriously, what motor? What transmission? Your biggest problem is going to be wind resistance. It takes a lot of horse power to move that brick wall down the road at legal speeds. And you will not have it.

Once you add propane, batteries, food, water & all your other stuff you will have added anywhere between 500-1,000 lbs more! You say you can pull this trailer with no problems, BUT can you stop it in an emergency? Good Luck & Drive Safe! bikendan • View posts Napa, Cal.

Your Tacoma has a Class IV hitch. With a WD hitch, the max capacity is 1,200#. Don't think you'll be anywhere near that. Keep the weight down on the TT. NOW, you won't break any speed records and you'll need a good brake controler. You won't be going up any mountains and big hills will be a challenge. You will know the TT is back there. Keep it on level ground and keep the TT's weight down. 2007 Dodge RAM 2500 Quad Cab w/6.7 Cummins 2013 Palomino Columbus 320RS Reese 15K Pro Series manual slide Prodigy Firestone Air Bags Champion 3500 genny M.I.L denied parole!

Your trailer is almost identical to mine in weight, which I pulled with my first Gen 2000 Tundra with the 4.7 V8. It was "ok" on the flats but slow on the hills. That truck was "rated" to tow 7100 lbs, was bigger and more powerful than your Tacoma and it felt like it really had its hands full and was right at its towing limit. You can probably get away with it for short trips over flat land but forget about taking that setup any long distance. 2007 Tundra SR5 CrewMax 5.7 V8 2004 Aljo 250LT Eaz-Lift WD Hitch Single Friction Sway Control Prodigy Brake Controller Honda EU2000 "I have this plan to live forever; so far my plan is working" dlclarkee • View posts new york New Member Joined: 02/06/2012 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/07/12 08:13am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator thanks all for advice not going up any hills mostly flat roads only 45 miles each direction only it is interesting to see different opinions just want to make sure before i do this Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 6   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Beginning RVing  > 2005 toyota tacoma long bed 4x4 jayco 264hh
