Crazy question

I'm trying to buy some brewing equipment in Colorado and haul it back to Albuquerque. I found out my Tacoma can handle 6,500 lb, and I'm hauling around 2,400 lb in a trailer.

The issue is I'm limited to a 5x9 U-Haul utility trailer (NOT enclosed). I'm hauling 2 3bbl ferms about 75 inches tall, weighing 475 lb each, and 1 bubbas barrels mash tun weighing about 155 lb.

I'm also getting a mobile pump, Heat X, a stand for the brewhouse, and a burner.

Is it crazy to think I can haul that without issues? With the trailer being open, should I worry about fishtailing? Idk if anyone has experience hauling equipment, but if you have any advice, it would be amazing.

2nd gen tacoma towing advice

I bought my 2012 Tacoma SR5 V6 4x4 automatic transmission about a year and a half ago, so I'm still getting to know my vehicle.

I bought some brewing equipment, and I'm planning to haul it from Colorado to Albuquerque. I have never towed anything before, so I'm kind of nervous. Any tips for towing? Any services I should get before I go? What gear? Ect.

Looking to tow about 1500lb of equipment in a 900 lb 5x9 trailer.

Any advice would be great, thanks!
