what is the towing capacity of the toyota tacoma?

Towing Capacity of the Tacoma

The Tacoma has a towing capacity of between 3500-6400 lbs. The difference in towing power is dependent on the engine that’s equipped and whether or not an available towing package has been added. The minimum towing capacity of 3500 lbs is for both the 4-cylinder and V6 powered Tacoma. It’s only when you add the Tow Package to the V6 engine that the tow power is lengthened to 6400 lbs. Despite its smaller frame, the Tacoma is one very competent hauler and can take on way more than you’d expect.

They did not inspect the vehicle before selling to me. My tire pressure on two of the four tires had low tire pressure like 25psi my back right light was also out when returning home from purchasing the vehicle. Took the truck back the next day to get problems fixed as well as cancel my extended warranty it has been three weeks since purchasing the vehicle and still have not received my refund. Every time I ask about it all I get is it’s in the mail.

The dealership intake area was clean, the man who checked me in was fast and efficient. The waiting area was nice, roomy and clean. I was kept up to date on the progress of my car by text message. I even received a video of the mechanics as they worked on my car. (After they finished). Check out was easy and efficient.
