Can a Toyota Tacoma Tow a 20 to 25 ft Travel Trailer?
VerdictClose to limit
Yes, but it's close to the limit.
- 5,800 lbs is 89% of the 6,500 lb rating. Many experienced towers stay under 80% (5,200 lbs) to leave room for hills, wind, and gear.
- Heavier versions of this trailer (up to 7,000 lbs) would go over the rating, so weigh yours.
- Expect about 580 to 870 lbs of tongue weight. That counts against your payload.
