towing question

[JJs450r]

alright i just got a new work truck an 03 tacoma sr5, and i was wondering would it be alright to tow my 450r and enclosed trailer on the bumper pull? would it hold? thanks

Not sure on that specific truck, but as a general rule of thumb, nothing more than 500lbs total on the bumper. I would definitely NOT tow that, and for the most part in general I wouldn't tow anything off of a bumper. Get a hitch and do it the right way. Towing is something that should be taken seriously. If you dont exercise good towing practice you're putting yourself as well as every other motorist on the road in jeopardy.

Yeah if you have the money for a 450R and a small enclosed don't be cheap and do it right.

you can get a reese hitch set up for those trucks for under $100 normally.

check some salvage yards in the area. i am sure you can get a used one for MUCH less.

do it the right way and you won't regret it.
