Is it good enough?
All of you answered pretty much all of my questions on truck recommendations last time. Only thing is that a couple of things have changed... 1. A Toyota Tacoma TRD has come up that I almost can't...

The trailer weight is 4963. The trailer length is 32 feet with the pin included. The journey to travel is about 3 to 10 miles. Just so to be clear. You all say No?
The trailer's dry weight is likely 4963, which will mean the trailer's travel weight will be 6000# plus.
The Tacoma is rated for a MAX of 6500# with no other cargo and a 150# driver.
Like I said, the Tacoma will be overloaded (likely GCWR, GAWR, and GVWR, if not MTR), so you decide. It will also have the headlights searching for aircraft, so I wouldn't recommend towing at night.
GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Rating
GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR - Gross Axle Weight Rating
MTR - Max Trailer Rating
From what I could find with a 5 min google search, the Tacoma has about 1000# payload. A 6000# RV will add about 600 - 800# to the truck with tongue weight, so now you have room for about 200 - 400# for all other cargo, all passengers, and anything else you might put in the truck before it is overloaded. Sounds iffy to me to stay under the ratings.
