I just got a Rpod 177 and towed it for the first time with a Tacoma 2011. It worked great. With the trailer brakes, it actually stopped better than the hard-sided pop up we used to have.

I have to say if it is true they are going to put the small 8 in the Tacome it would be worth waiting for. Good luck and happy nights of camping.

=====================

Honestly     ...I hope Toyota puts the higher horsepower/improved gas mileage 4L 6 Cylinder in the Tacoma - - mailnly because I like manual transmission and if they go to an 8 cylinder they will likely NOT offer it with stick !!

I am currently towing my 176 with my 2006 tacoma 4 cylinder 5 speed manual w/tow package. It's a slow tow up the passes here in MT, overall though, it tows just fine. I'm pretty happy with the 176 so far, just picked it up last week!
