Not recomended.. payload is way to low for one (only 1300# total which includes passengers and gear) not to mention the spring's on the 05-early 08 are lightly sprung. Toyota went to a 4 leaf pack in later 08 models and if you push them they'll do the TSB for the previous years but still people complain about to much rear end squat under heavy payload. I don't have the TSB on my 05 and 1000# of dirt had me just about on the bump stops. Many other stories on Tacoma World about sag. I added a set of Roadmaster Active Suspension springs and it made a big difference with my trailer. Haven't loaded that 1000# of dirt again though.

Yey! It is now getting a little older, But it is on the smaller ends of things which is maybee the trend now!!! SO, if I can hook it up for you let me know.... What size is the bed on that Dakota?
Remember the OP's truck only has a FIVE FOOT LONG bed to work with.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I think the FourWheel rig is a great option, and so is the NorthernLite although that might be a bit heavy when fully loaded for a Tacoma. I love the Tacowma photo, some day we may all be pulling our rigs with oxen. Drill, drill, drill!
