very important..... also, it comes into play, conditions and driver skill.... that 87 will be pushing the tacoma quite a bit..... you are also going to need triler lights mounted or magnet ones to the 87....

if you are planning cross country trips on the interstate, than no... aint gonna fly....

if you are planning towing it down the road to a friends to work on it... then that's fine

maybe around four hundred miles.experience i got make my living as a semi driver.im just wondering if the tacoma is up for the task. Or should i be looking for a full size truck. Dodge or chevy or ford

if its a 1 time thing, you should be ok.... just be careful..... look into adding extra tranny coolers if an automatic, and make sure the tacoma is in tip top shape. give yourself extra time to get there, no doing 70 on the freeway... (max is usally 55 mph while towing anyways) but i have seen semis going 80 lol

if you are planning to do this every weekend to the trails, look into a fullsize

Are you going to do this trip frequently ?

every month?

if that is the case, i would look to either renting a uhaul truck to do it, or buying a fullsize rig
