I’ve been eyeballing a 2019 Tacoma and want to know how it will handle pulling my 2000 Triton TR186. Not sure how much it weighs. What y’all think.

A few of my buddies have pulled boats of similar size with tacomas/rangers.

Don't think pulling will be an issue, stopping might take a little longer distance. If the trailer has brakes, no problem.

I have 19 off road 6spd Manual. I’d say that boat/trailer combo is in the 3000 lb range. Should be fine as long as you don’t plan to travel a circuit.

You'll be fine. Tow rating is 6400lbs. While I wouldn't get anywhere close to that with a mid size truck, you should only be at 3500lbs or so with boat, trailer and some incidentals. Maybe 4000.

You should be fine, I can’t imagine that boat and trailer weighing too much. I have a 2019 SR5, which you should get over the TRD sport btw and save a few grand, that hauls my wife’s horse and trailer fine, which total about 4,000 lbs.

How flat is the land where you want to tow? That would be the difference maker. Flat, OK, Western Colorado, not OK.

A couple weeks ago I got behind a guy pulling a small camper trailer doing 35mph in a 65 on a very very mild grade. My buddy says "what on earth is he pulling that thing with"? When I passed him, we saw a crewcab Tacoma. I don't see a Tacoma for pulling anything in my future.

I used to pull a 20' trailer with 3 ATVs back and forth from Phoenix to Clints Well with my Tacoma. Mine has the 4.10 gears and a trans cooler. No problems. Still have the truck 2008 with 190K. You should be fine.

I'd pull that combo anywhere, anytime. I've pulled a TR-21 with that motor and had zero issues over passes.

I think a Colorado Duramax will do it better. I would at minimum wait until the next redesign to look at the Tacoma.
That will be in another 6 or 7 years. It was just redesigned in 2016 and the last generation was 11 years in between redesigns.

I have a Tundra, wife has a Tacoma. The Tundra was not that much more than the Tacoma. Both Trucks have not had a single issue. To me, the Tacoma is not comfortable for longer trips and I'm only 6 feet even. And it's constantly downshifting on any grade, w/o a trailer. The Tacoma is better off road.
