The data is in Hucho's book.I'll re- visit that.-------As to tools and other massive items,bear in mind that that mass way out at the rear of the car could affect the polar-moment of the Tacoma and its center of gravity.If you ever lost traction in a curve,the tail might want to swap ends with the front of the truck.----------- The spare was already in that location so that's a wash,but additional weight could get you in trouble.Just be careful.
