Small Trailer for Tacoma

Hi all, I'm looking at small trailers in the 13-14 ft range that would be suitable to tow behind my standard cab 4wd Tacoma. The contenders are the Jayco 145RB and KZ 130RB. I like the extra windows, aluminum roof, larger tanks and 4 stabilizer jacks on the KZ. I'm just not sure if I'm comfortable with the 13inch wheels. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. I want to keep my price point in the $11,000.00 -$13,000.00 range.
  • There is a member here, Profundit maybe, that tows a 14' FunFinder with a Tacoma. Hopefully they will be along shortly.
  • I am not detecting “I really want this trailer” from you.
  • Yes..The Cassita would be my first choice. Just trying to find a nice used one at my price point is the challenge. Although I am not giving up.
  • I'd be looking at a 17 foot Casita. Well built trailer that'll last for years and also has a high resale value too. I tow one behind my 2017 Tacoma with row package. And I get on average 14 to 16 mpg towing.

  • Excellant point. I will be going to check it out and will look at them.
    Thanks so much.
    I wish there was a way to do a test tow before buying.
    Maybe someone on this forum has a similar set up. Most likely not.

    Why? You haven't indicated whether these are 175s or 185s but especially if the latter their load rating is sufficient for a trailer with a GVWR of just 2800 lbs.
  • We looked at T@B, Scamp, Casita and RPod's before buying more truck and getting an Airstream.
