2016 Tacoma

Does anyone here tow a 2016 Tacoma or know of someone who does? I am told there are some complications with the steering wheel lock and the hydraulic brake booster.

  • This is from the 2015 owners manual online, I looked it up for another poster previously. Doubt anything has changed for 2016, but you can find the owners manual online.

    2015 Owners manual Page 233

    2-5. Driving information Dinghy towing
    Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with 4 wheels on the ground) behind a motor home.

    NOTICE To avoid serious damage to your vehicle Do not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground.

    Same here a few years ago. Tacoma was top of the list till I looked at the owner manual. Frontier 2WD and 4X4 both towable with manual transmission. Bought 2WD 4 cylinder 5 speed manual. Nice truck with good ride but wide turn radius.
  • The owners manual states: Can not be towing, period. I was considering getting me a Tacoma until I found out they can not be towed. Neither manual or automatic.
