Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Anyone towing a Toyota Tacoma? 

I know it is not recommended in the manual, but I have heard that some have figured out a way to do it safely. 

The truck is out of warranty but has been very well maintained and runs like a top.  We'd like to keep it.

It is a 2000, 4 WD, V6 that we'd like to tow four down.   We don't want to put it on a dolly or trailer.

Thanks
Randy and Pam

Not sure about the Tacoma, but I found out with my '01 F150 that any vehicle can be flat-towed. The only question is how much it will cost. Some vehicles require deeper pockets than others.

Motorhome Magazine publishes a dingy guide. http://www.motorhomemagazine.com/



add: I found this on the net...while it says the Tacoma can't be flat towed Ford told me the same thing about my F-150.  If I had decided to keep my F-150 I would have had to install 2 driveline disconnects AND all the normal items, ie. base plate.  Would have cost me almost $7K to outfit my F-150.  While I would have loved to keep my truck it didn't make sense to spend all that money for an older vehicle that was probably going to require a lot of maintenance due to age.  My point is, while Ford would tell you that my truck couldn't be flat towed I found out that in reality it could with major modifications.

Give www.remcotowing.com a holler.
Also try Googling "flat tow Toyota Tacoma" lots of perhaps additional info - but I'd stick to the words of your owners manual then Remco before any hearsay. Transmissions are not cheap..
