We pull a 14' Livi'n Lite trailer weighing 4120# loaded, full fresh water, propane, etc. with a 2014 Tacoma, tow pkg, etc.. The truck weighs 5040# with full gas tank, grill and other stuff in bed. All #'s per CAT scale.
Absolutely no problem on the flat. Could go 65 mph all day. However, you know when you come to any incline. Going over Monarch Pass ( for anyone familiar w/ Colorado), it's down to 34 +/- mph, (there are two lanes going up so hope we don't make everybody mad). The problem I see is the transmission temperature. Per my ScanGauge, it will go to 224* by the top of a big hill. Transmission experts may wish to weigh-in as to how damaging this is.......
Thinking about adding an additional transmission cooler.
Love the Tacoma, love the trailer, so we'll have to live with the situation.
