I have a 2025 Tocoma 4Wd and the Tm makes the unit tail heavy.
A trailer with the tongue weight of a TM makes most any tow vehicle tail-heavy.

It has a anti sway system ...
You don't need it for towing the TM.

...but not sure if it has a WDS system.
You do need one for towing the TM.

We use the truck for hauling all sorts of material, firewood and manure.
If your Tacoma rides low simply from a load in the bed, you REALLY need a WDH for when you are towing. The Tacoma qualifies for the needs-a-WDH recommendation. Even my long, heavy, F-150 qualifies.

So Would it make sense to add the air bladder Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag Kit - Toyota Tacoma, Rear SKU 2407 To help our ride?
Perhaps, for when you are carrying a load in the bed, since the air bags will level the vehicle. But NOT for use when you are towing the TM, since leveling is not what you need.

Please go to our TM Technical Library and read the tutorials regarding weight distribution and air springs.
