  1. No. I haven't climbed the mountains of Colorado or Washington, nor do I plan a trip there. I'm fairly new to TT camping. For the long hauls, I prefer to fly my 200+ Knot aircraft and I stay in a cabin. I'm blessed that Texas has plentiful, and lovely State parks to explore. That will keep me busy for a while. Big Bend is not mountainous, but fairly steep for Texas. Again, no problem towing with the Tacoma. I'm blessed to be able afford any of the popular tow vehicles when the time comes to replace the Tacoma. I just hate to drive a big heavy truck for everyday driving. As you put it, the Trucklet is a pleasure to drive around town. It doesn't beat you up with every pot hole. She's more like my wife's Lexus RX 350 in ride, quiet and comfort than my last Ford Ranger or my friends big trucks. Let's face it. You spend very little time towing a TT compared to just normal usage.
  2. I drove my 2015 4x4 Tacoma to Holdenwald February 20 to pick up my new 2021 Legacy Elite II and haul it back to Southlake Texas. I had read negative comments as to the Tacoma's ability to tow an Ollie. I also read a review of both the Ollie Elite II and a 2016 Tacoma. The reviewer love both, and said the Tacoma towed the Ollie just fine. I decided to find out for myself. I can report that my Tacoma tows the Oliver Elite II just fine. I stayed around 65 MPH over the route. I normally can travel 300 miles between fueling. Towing the Ollie, the tank approaches empty after 250 miles. I wish I had more range, but I simply threw a five gallon gas container in the back just incase I needed it. I didn't need it. My wife and I camp with two other couples. One has a Ram diesel and a Oliver Elite II, the other a Ford King Ranch and a Forest River stick trailer. I have no problem keeping up with them. You Tacoma lovers can decide for yourself, but I actually have experience towing an Ollie. I'm not sure if all the nay sayers really know what they are talking about.
