I offer this as an apples and oragns comparison.
for 4 years I sorta bragged that I did not have any use for a WD hitch when towing with my 1500HD truck. It only saggged 5/8 inch at the rear bumper by hooking up the TM, not counting cargo in the bed of the truck.
Then we added two motorcycles. My WR250R weighs around 290 pounds. My son's Honda 250 weighs a bit less. Probably 250. So I added 550 pounds o motorcycles, plus stand, tools, spare parts. That resulted in enough sag that I could no longer remove the wheel from the front of the TM, because it was sagging so low.
Now with the 2500HD, it is stiff enough that it does not sag enough.
It is my theory that any truck that sags as much as a 1500HD will need a WD hitch if you start loading motorcycles or ATVs in the bed of the truck.
I have no idea how a Tacoma compares to a Chevy 1500HD.
