unless you have a 3/4 ton truck with the brakes a half ton wont do that well stoping. If your hauling gravel or a full bed you wont be able to do it safely with a v6 tacoma that has a full size bed a 1/2 ton with air bags and trailer brakes are a min. If the boat launch is 10 min from home that 4.0 v6 tacoma is fine but not driving it hour and half to sekui. The new 5.7 tundra is built for towing and is a sweet truck but id still rather have a cummins.
