I tow an older 18 ft. Terry with my 6 cylinder Tacoma without issues. It has a 5000lb tow rating. My listed trailer weight is just under 3000 lbs. dry. The trailer has dual axles. I really like having the extra set of wheels for safety and handling. Dual axles are a good thing... I added an automatic transmission cooler to my truck to be safe. I use a wieght distribution hitch and had to add a brake controller to the truck for the trailer. You should be fine if you keep the trailer light enough. Do consider your cargo weight and remember to add on the tongue wieght of the trailer to your payload when figuring out what your truck can tow.
