I can't stand talking to "truck people" about an economical truck. They all think that to tow my car/trailer combo that I need a huge V8 dually diesel AWD truck.

Consider the early 90's toyota truck. (I don't know if they had tacoma/tundra back then, it may have just been "toyota truck" still like the 80's). I have heard of people really pushing the limits of that truck and it surviving anything.

Do yourself a favour a search "kill a toyota truck" on youtube. You'll find a TopGear or FifthGear 2-part segment on the toughness of that truck. IMPRESSIVE video.
