2007 Toyota Tacoma

The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2007 Toyota Tacoma is 6,500 lb, the top of 21 rows transcribed from Toyota’s 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4x2 eBrochure. That row is printed for the 4.0L V6, Access Cab, 2WD, 3.73 axle, 6-speed manual, PreRunner. Most configurations are rated lower: 25 of the 35 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2007 are below 6,500 lb. Across 35 manufacturer chart rows for 2007, ratings run conventional 3,500 lb to 6,500 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase

The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.

  • An illustrative 10 percent of the 6,500 lb conventional maximum is 650 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Generation

Second generation

2007 is year 3 of this generation (2005–2015). 2005 redesign. Four-cylinder and V6 ratings were far apart.

2007 towing by engine

Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 35 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.

Questions

How much can a 2007 Toyota Tacoma tow?
The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2007 Toyota Tacoma is 6,500 lb, the top of 21 rows transcribed from Toyota’s 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4x2 eBrochure. That row is printed for the 4.0L V6, Access Cab, 2WD, 3.73 axle, 6-speed manual, PreRunner. Most configurations are rated lower: 25 of the 35 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2007 are below 6,500 lb.
Did Tacoma towing change for 2007?
Compare the cited 2007 figures on this page with the 2006 record. They are stored separately.
Which configuration hits the maximum?
The 6,500 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 4.0L V6, Access Cab, 2WD, 3.73 axle, 6-speed manual, PreRunner.
What tongue weight should I plan for a 2007 Tacoma?
At the cited 6,500 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 650 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
