Unfortunately, it's the same one that I have for everything else. A 2005 GMC...

Pretty decently, granted there are some issues I wish Toyota would fix. The springs are the big issue. It's a 3-leaf pack that sags quite easily, and if done so on a regular basis, will send the springs into an accelerated wear (become S-shaped). Toyota issued a TSB for the rear springs which replaces the rear pack with a 4-leaf pack, and so far seems to be getting good results. The downside it's hit or miss with dealerships getting them to honor the TSB. Plus your truck must be in the 36,000/3yr warranty period for the TSB to be applied. I have the tow package which comes with the class 3 hitch/7pin connector, transmission cooler, and 130a alternator and a 6500lb tow rating. I wouldn't suggest towing loads like that regularly , but it will handle them. If you tow regularly, you shouldn't be driving an gas engine, let alone a midsize imho, but they do tow medium sized loads well.

Thats why I traded my 07 Tacoma DoubleCab 4x4...didnt tow well at all,v6 was to small so it drank gas.Sure it towed a small trailer nice(6x8)but when it came down to bigger and heavier trailers it worked to hard...It was a great small trk for just driving around,but put any trailer on the hitch and watch the gas gauge go down...
