Ouch, that's a shame. I owned a 22H, it was a fantastic trailer. If it was a 22H, it is probably within spec for the Tacoma, although the smaller and lighter your truck, the easier it is to flip over.
All of us can be internet engineers and speculate all we want, but none of us know for certain why this happened. With it being a new trailer owner, I am sure that operator error had at least some play in this accident. Too fast for conditions, inability to control sway, improper WDH setup, etc could all be relevant and would still have existed with a heavier truck. Lets face it... there are people that could safely haul a fifth wheel with a Ford Ranger, and there are people that couldn't safely tow a utility trailer with a dually.
Glad this fella and his family are okay, hope that he had insurance on his newer truck and brand new Nash.
