Don't forget the Honda Ridgeline as well. For the weights the OP is looking at it will work great plus it is a nice daily driver. :B Plus it has more payload capacity. My RL is 1546 lbs.
HAD a '16 Tacoma for a year pulling the Sig. TT. It would pull the TT down the road OK but the experience was horrible. Mostly the loud engine exhaust noise which got very tiring after the 1st hour. On a few occasions it REALY struggled to push a 3700 lb trailer back into camping spots without going into 4 LO. You can imagine the driveline noises it made while doing backing maneuvers. :E
The RL is quiet going down the road, is more comfortable has full time 4WD and it dose not struggle to move the TT at campsites.
The towing experience is vastly superior with the RL and a GREAT daily driver. It is a capable machine which is very well engineered with features like a large lockable, water proof in bed trunk.
I really wanted to like the Taco and bought it based on its sterling street reputation. That was a mistake that cost me a few thousand dollars. It would be wise to consider a Ridgeline.
