Hi, I've been doing a ton of research into what light weigh travel trailers are currently being manufactured that meet my requirements and budget. I've hit a bit of a wall in that I can't seem to fin...

I'm not sure you'll be pleased towing any high walled trailer 2/3 away across the USA with that truck. It should do it, but set your expectations pretty low. Do not expect 2000rpm and 65mph on flat ground let alone up any hills/mountains. Let that V6 sing when needed.
Good to know, so you don't think that it would be able to go 65MPH with any high walled trailer no matter how light? Airborn801 mentioned they pulled one with the same truck without issue. I know it will only get 10MPG but will it not even be able to go highway speeds? Trying not to go too far down this rat hole with TV vs TT in this thread but would be helpful to just abandon this idea if it's not practical.
We've been towing with our Frontier for 4 years. Took a 4 week trip out west last year with no problems. Our kids have same truck, same camper except theirs is a bunk model. They took off for the Great Lakes, Mt. Rushmore, etc last summer. Again, no concerns. I have no problem going 65 except up really steep grades. It runs about 2500rpm in 4th and gets 10-11 mpg. Set up correctly, your Tacoma should be fine. I am assuming that you have the 4L in it. The major factor with my truck was keeping payload and tongue weights in line.
Good luck.
