Hello from Las Vegas. My wife and I just got a 2017 Aerolite 2520RKSL in February. We went for a shake down run and the Clark County Shooting Park here is Vegas (nice place to go, full hook ups, nice view of the city but no other amities). We had a great time but while towing on a long steep grade I found out that I'm gonna have trouble towing with my 2007 Tacoma. Truck has a towing capacity of 6500 and the trailer has a dry weight of 5160 so I know I'm pushing it. Trans temp went over 230 and it doesn't like the wind. I ordered a trans cooler with a fan so hopefully that will fix the temp issue. Then I'll probably end up adding air bags/springs or helper springs to help the stability issue. Guess we wont be doing and long distance trips for a few years till can afford a new truck payment.
 
Welcome. Having not enough tow vehicle is a common problem. Keep a eye out for a used truck which is easier on your budget. If Toyota is what you like look for a Tundra V-8.
Just make sure you tow out of the desert in early morning to beat the heat. ;)

Agree with Desert Rat. Don't try to prop up the Tacoma.
Oh, the wife and I contributed to your local economy last month.
