I'm thinking about trading my acura integra for my uncle's 1998 Toyota Tacoma. I like to fish too, so i'm thinking about purchasing a boat. The tacoma is a 4wd V6 5-speed xtra cab. The boat i'm wanting to get is a 15' boat with a 40hp motor with trolling motor and comes with a trailer. I approximate the total weight of the boat with trailer should be less than 2000lbs. I can't seem to find any information on the 1998 tacoma towing capabilities. I know that edmunds.com says that the max towing capacity is 5000lbs. But i also researched and people are saying that when towing with a manual drivetrain, you should half the towing capacity or something. So do you think it'll be safe to be towing a boat around with a 98 toyota tacoma? or better yet, whats the recommended max weight that i can tow safely with a 98 Tacoma? thx.
