Don't get a Tacoma for this - a Kimbo weighs upwards of 1k lbs, right at the limit of a Tacoma's payload capacity. Add in fuel, people, water, anything else heavy and you're above the rated capacity before you know it.
- dylan604 3y agoThis was my disappointment with my Tacoma. For the size of the truck itself, the towing is very limited. I know they would rather you buy a Tundra, but a Tacoma's towing isn't much better than my '85 Chevy S-10. That's just really sad when you compare the sizes of a Tacoma and an S-10
- nichos 3y agoThe new canyon/Colorado's can tow over 7000lbs.
- zucked 3y ago!! Careful to not conflate - payload is not the same as towing capacity. The 2023 Colorado has a payload capacity of 1,310 to 1,610 lbs. To get much beyond the 1 to 1.5k lbs PAYLOAD capacity, you need to move into a full size truck, ideally an F-250 or equivalent. People putting campers in the back of Tacomas and the like are playing with fire.
- GartzenDeHaes 3y agoAlso, you are uninsured if you exceed your vehicle's towing or gross weight rating. It's in the fine print of your insurance binder, something about using the vehicle IAW manufacturer's recommendations. EDIT: And yes, the insurance company will weigh your equipment after an accident.
- dylan604 3y agoTIL. Always read the fine print!
