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.
The frontal area of the trailer presents a lot of drag. The added resistance is there regardless of how heavy, or light, the trailer is. You are essentially pulling a vertical sheet of plywood down the road. I'm not familiar with the Tacoma - have you checked to see if there are any frontal area restrictions for towing with it? If so then you want to look for trailers that fit within that measurement as well.
