I think that Westend is wrong - while I don't think it would be fun trying to pull 6500 lbs., but a 3000 lb. trailer is no problem. I have an almost identical truck to yours (mine is a 2009 with 140,000 miles though) and we tow a small trailer up the mountains and back - it works great. We have a WDH and an anti-sway bar installed. One thing to check is whether you have the recall on the rear springs (mine were replaced) and have them checked to make sure they are in good shape. The tacoma V6 is very well matched to a SCAMP or Casita trailer. Go to tacomaworld.com and read the blog post "the tacoma towing bible" - it has a lot of great info.
