Adequate

I towed a 17' Casita with a Tacoma V6, 6 speed and found it adequate, not great but it did pull fine on flat ground. Towing a 21' with a V6 is going to be tough but doable on flat ground. My Toyota...

Weight

Factory says 2480lbs out the door, 365lbs tongue weight.
Adding my personal items I am guessing I am still under 3000lbs.
I only filled propane half way, so I added about 40lbs tongue weight

Quality Sucks

IMHO quality is in the toilet, just depends how picky you are. Don't expect new car quality in a TT, fit and finish is terrible. If I new how quality was on my 2017 Casita, I would have never bought...

Welcome to the forums.
