This was my disappointment with my Tacoma. For the size of the truck itself, the towing is very limited. I know they would rather you buy a Tundra, but a Tacoma's towing isn't much better than my '85 Chevy S-10. That's just really sad when you compare the sizes of a Tacoma and an S-10

The new canyon/Colorado's can tow over 7000lbs.

!! Careful to not conflate - payload is not the same as towing capacity. The 2023 Colorado has a payload capacity of 1,310 to 1,610 lbs.

To get much beyond the 1 to 1.5k lbs PAYLOAD capacity, you need to move into a full size truck, ideally an F-250 or equivalent. People putting campers in the back of Tacomas and the like are playing with fire.
