How much can this truck REALLY tow?

From what I see u should be fine. I agree we all don't need a 3/4 ton or 1 ton just to pull a small camper. My BIL has a Tacoma and is looking at a camper similar to pull. Yes he is still within his weight ratings. The new Gm twins with the duramax will be a fine towing machine. I have a friend currently trying to purchase one as well. His trailer is similar as well in weights and size. Again within the weight rating. If I was not using a big camper I would not have a big truck either. I would go for what your doing for sure. My BIL stepped down from a large TT and F250 to a Tacoma and he loves the fact it fits in his garage... Right now is a good time in Florida to have your trucks in the garage...... Anyway it looks like your fine in my opinion. As long as your in the weight capacity of what your truck is, I would not care. Good luck let us know how u like that truck with the diesel. I saw one the other day and was Impressed with the size and capability of these new so called midsized trucks.
