Would the Tacoma be a viable TV for a Surveyor SV-264?

I'm new to the site. I have a Tacoma with the tow pkg 6500lb tow rating. I'm looking at purchasing the Salem Cruise lite: uvw 3405 gvwr 4500, length 22 ft. I think my Taco could handle this rig satisfactorily. Any comments?

I think that would work.

Thanks. I thought the weight would be okay. I don't think the length would be a problem for the wheelbase. I have the long bed.

I too am now considering a 2011 Roo Model 19 and a Tacoma Long Bed Sport. Since this thread is a bit old...how did your towing experience go?

that would be a good combo. as long as you get a good WDH with sway control.

you may want to post in the Expandable/Hybrid section here.

I know this is an older thread, however, thought I'd add my 2-cents just the same.
We tow a Palomino Gazelle 230 with a Tacoma 4.0 v6, double-cab, long bed. The "light weight" is about 3700lbs, and as loaded we're at about 4500lbs. The Tacoma v6 is a strong motor, with 3.71 gears, and a Reese SC WD hitch the truck is quite adequate; we are probably close to the realistic capacilty of the truck (not the published capacity), but we don't feel we are overloaded. I would never go any heavier, however; agree with all on that. The Tacoma is quite capable pulling 4500lbs; steeper grades will certainly have you wishing for a larger truck, but mild grades are really not much problem; though you are certainly aware you're pulling that much weight.
By-the-way we get about 20mpg typical, and about 12mpg towing.
I know many of you frown on the smaller trucks, but we've been very pleased with its abilities in the 4000lb area.
