car hauler trailer

Towing a standard shift Toyota Yaris is a snap. 4 down, super light. :) Just a suggestion if you look for another vehicle.

Thanks. I guess I'll look to going in another direction.

IIRC the Tacoma is not towable 4 down without modifications. You mentioned a 33' Coachman, is this a "Super C"? If so, you likely have at least a 7500 lb. towing capacity. Most of the newer E450 based Cs have this capacity as well, although the aforementioned tongue weight will erode your payload and rear axle weight capacity. The 16' steel car hauler I used to own weighed exactly 1500 pounds empty. There are aluminum trailers available that are much lighter and much more expensive. The big pro of trailering is the ability to back up without disconnecting, the big cons are the extra weight and the extra 21' of rolling stock that you have to find a place to park at the campsite.

Tacoma weighs in at 4220 curb weight. Average weight for a steel wood floor car hauler comes in at 2000 pounds. ten percent for tongue weight means you added 620 pounds to your long butt motorhome. A 5000 pound hitch won't do it. having all that space in the bed of the truck is tempting. You will feel that weight all the time.
I tow my Wrangler 4 down and forget it's there plus no trailer to deal with at sites. I add items to the inside and still under 5K. Once at camp it's 10 minutes and we are unhitched. You: drive your tacoma off trailer,, drop trailer,pull MH into camp site, use tacoma to move trailer to camp site designated area, drop trailer, drive tacoma back to camp site, repeat in a few days.

I think it would be too much weight.

If you can flat tow your truck, I think you'll find that works out better.

Flat towing, you have a tongue weight of about half a tow bar on the motorhome, or practically nothing. Towing on a car hauler, you have ten percent of the truck plus the trailer weight, or several hundred pounds. As this is applied well in back of the rear axle, you'll likely be adding something like 700+ pounds to the rear axle of the RV and reducing the load on the front axle by maybe 300 pounds. That is assuming your hitch is rated to take that much tongue weight; often class C motorhome hitches are not rated for as much tongue weight as the overall tow weight rating would usually imply.

you sure your coachmen is rated to tow that much?

Search for a Uhaul one that is for sale. They sell them a lot, and make great trailers.
