Do have Timbren bumpers to replace the stock units.
We've decided on the 17B, soooo.. I don't anticipate any issues

So you will have around the same towing weight with a lot less hitch weight. That should work out nicely.

I agree.
Now it's the order and wait deal.
Don't want to pick it up til next March or early April.
Will be a LONG wait.
Enjoy yer travels..be safe.

We have a 2012 V6 Tacoma Prorunner with factory towing package as our first tug with our 2015 Escape 19. Worked Great. traveled through the Rocky Mtns, with no problems. Got between 11 and 14 MPG. No supercharger. May not be necessary. Still have the Tacoma, but upgraded to a Sprinter 2500 diesel, more for my husband's ego than anything else. I use the Tacoma when I go alone. What is the rationale for the Supercharger??

Thanks for the info.
We've decided to go with a 17B.
We'll not have any issues haul'n that.
Supercharger= horsepower= speed(not necessary for hauling a trailer)
Safe travels.
