The Toyota Tacoma has a towing capacity of between 3500-6400 lbs. The difference in towing power is dependent on the engine that is equipped and whether or not the towing package is added. The minimum towing capacity of 3500 lbs is for both the 4-cylinder and V6 engine that powers the Tacoma. It’s only when you add the Towing Package to the V6 that the towing capacity is lengthened to 6400 lbs. Despite its smaller frame, the Toyota Tacoma is one very capable hauler and can take on way more than you’d expect.
