I have a 1997 Tacoma 4x4 with a 2.7 engine. Could I tow a 18-19 Ft bass boat? The trailer has brakes. I think I can get a good deal on the boat but it may be too much for my Tacoma.

With a receiver hitch, providing you dont have larger tires (32+ or if you have larger tires have geared it appropriately) and you dont mind driving a little slower. You wont break any speed records but it can be done.

My friend with a standard cab 2.7 tacoma towed my 20 ft ski boat (many years back) with no problems...not much worse than my s/c v6 once it was up to speed. If you have an automatic you may want to look into a tranny cooler.

I have towed a 27ft. fountain raceboat with my 2.7. So, yes you can. Most of my problems come with the brakes. Since it has trailer brakes, you should be alright.

Whats the weight of the boat+trailer? Anything beyond 3500lbs is exceeding the rating of the truck. I've towed 3000lbs before, and that felt like the max I would want to tow.
