Ah, the 2020 Toyota Tacoma. Solid truck,
0:03
reliable as they come, and yeah, it can
0:06
tow, but how much exactly? Well, that
0:09
depends on how it's set up. Let me break
0:11
it down for you like we're chatting in
0:13
the driveway. So, the towing capacity on
0:15
a 2020 Tacoma ranges from 3,500 lb all
0:19
the way up to 6,800 lb depending on the
0:22
engine, drivetrain, and whether it's got
0:24
the towing package or not. Here's the
0:27
deal. If you've got the base 2.7 L
0:29
4-cylinder engine, you're looking at a
0:31
max towing capacity of 3,500 lb. Not bad
0:35
for a small camper or light utility
0:37
trailer, but it's not breaking any
0:38
records. Now, step up to the 3.5 L V6.
0:42
That's where it gets interesting. If
0:44
your Tacoma has the V6 and the available
0:46
tow package, it can tow up to 6,800 lb.
0:49
But that's specifically with the rearw
0:51
wheelel drive RWD configuration. If it's
0:54
four-wheel drive, 4WD, it's just a
0:57
little less, around 6,400 lb. And hey,
1:01
if you're not sure whether your truck
1:02
has the tow package, here's a quick
1:04
hint. Look for things like a class 4
1:06
hitch, transmission cooler, heavy duty
1:08
alternator, and a seven pin connector.
1:10
If it's got those, you're in business.
1:12
One more thing, payload and tongue
1:14
weight matter, too. So, even if your
1:16
Tacoma can tow 6,800 lb, make sure your
1:19
trailer's loaded right and you're within
1:20
your payload limits. All right, there
1:23
you go. 2020 Tacoma towing from 3,500 to
1:27
6,800 lb depending on the setup. Need
