Probably only happen 2 or 3 times a year, and I can tolerate 30 mph up the pass if needed. Just want to be safe and no excessive wear and tear on the truck. And what MPG do you see towing/highway?

Thanks!
700#+ of cargo plus passengers, fuel and around 400# of tongue wt would be asking a lot of that Tacoma I think.

Check the RR axle rating, payload rating etc. Be realistic about the additional weight. Not many people take an ATV without taking a couple hundred pounds of extra gear.
