[Rhodes22-list] towing a Rhodes 22 w/ a Toyota Tacoma?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Bill,
If your Tacoma is the one that has a 6500 tow rating, you will 
probably be OK. We tow ours with a Nissan Frontier 2WD with a 6300 
tow rating. It tows a heck of a lot better than our old Chev. Blazer 
(5000 tow rating) but we did that for years without any problems. If 
we had been towing in the mountains, we would have wanted something 
with more oomph but on the flat and on I-95 it was fine. You'll want 
a trailer with brakes and you'll want to be cognizant of how much 
stuff you are loading in the truck and boat for towing.

Best,
Mary Lou
