Why do I keep finding 6800 on my searches? Must be dealership sites trying to squeeze in a few extra pounds!
Also, when I was looking for the same info, I was looking for payload and thought it was 1150+ based on what the internet said. But..the yellow sticker on the drivers side door frame says 950lbs. Not much!!especially if your trailer tongue takes up a bunch of the 950.

Bumping this up. Towed my 21’ Tahoe 700 with a SBC to Havasu and back, I’d estimate 5500 lb. Kept it in 4s with ECT. Was able to run 65-75 without issue on flat ground. Struggled on the grades. For local towing, no issue. I wouldn’t want to do any kind of long trip regularly. MPG was 7-9. On the grades, I was struggling to maintain 55+ with the engine screaming dropping to 3rd at 4500+ RPM.
TLDR: Towing 4500+ better be on flat ground and not at altitude.
Disclaimer: I sold a 16 Ram 2500 CTD to get the Taco, so I might be a bit biased.

Well, I greatly exceeded the towing capacity a good while back. I sold a 27 ft. travel trailer and the lady needed it delivered. I had planned to borrow a truck but it wasn't available when I needed it. So I towed it with the Tacoma. '18 TRD Off Road. Towed it a little over 50 miles to her house. Power wasn't an issue and the suspension didn't bottom out but it was WAY light on the front end. If I remember correctly, the trailer weighed between 8,000 and 8,500 lbs.
