I'm not sure you'll be pleased towing any high walled trailer 2/3 away across the USA with that truck. It should do it, but set your expectations pretty low. Do not expect 2000rpm and 65mph on flat ground let alone up any hills/mountains. Let that V6 sing when needed.

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.

Not to pull you into the rat hole you mention, but APT has a good point. I don't know what year your Tacoma is, I suspect a newer one with the bigger V6, but we used to own an '04 Tacoma TRD with the 3.4L V6 and tow package. We towed a Funfinder 139 which had a 3500 GVWR (tiny little thing but typical frontal area). APT's description of performance is accurate. At sub-highway speeds the performance is just fine. But once you get the speedometer over about 50 mph it took exponentially more effort for each mph increase. My folks now have this truck and camper and it has made the drive from Montana to Alaska and back a couple times, so clearly it can be done. But don't expect easy towing just because the trailer is relatively light. The small gas tank in the truck was also a bit of a pain, having to fuel up every 150 miles or so means you need to plan your back country trips carefully so you have enough gas to get back to civilization.
