Granny coolers....so many colors, patterns, and sizes to choose from...how do you decide?  And...I'm sorry that your little Tacoma can only tow the trailer at 12 mph....but on the other hand, while granny stays cool, you get to enjoy the scenery!  |

2017 SR5 V6 with Tow Package. It's a great match up. Been coast to coast twice now and north into the Canadian Rockies. Not the first of the hill, yet over without issues.
Keep your rpm's down, stay off cruise control, use your gearing and slow down on the highway and you'll see some 'great' gas mileage. Better yet, take the Byways and enjoy gas mileage and better scenery! LOL |

I have the Nissan equivalent, The Frontier, and I tow a 195 with little issue when going into appalachian mountains steep long climbs, but who doesn't.

2014 Tacoma V6, 4 wheel drive, towing package, Six speed manual transmission. It pulls like a freight train. The young fellow that got in it to hook up our new Rpod 180 at the dealer couldn't drive a clutch.  |
