    Opinion on towing with '04 Tacoma

    i wouldnt do it personally. i have a 1500 sierra 4x4 and i can feel 5000 lbs behind me rather well and its rated at 7500 or something close to that. these trucks just arent heavy enough and get pushed around my that much weight to easily. just my opinion . i error on the side of causion alot though
