2015 Toyota Tacoma towing capacity
Up to 6,500 lbs (the source does not say which hitch type the figure is for). That rating is for this configuration: Access Cab PreRunner, V6 (4.0-Liter), 2WD, 3.73 axle. The lowest-rated configuration in the same tables is 3,400 lbs, so the answer for your vehicle depends on how it is equipped.
The top figure belongs to one specific build. Find the row that matches your engine, cab, drive and axle, and check the label on your driver's door jamb. Passengers and cargo in the truck come off what you can tow.
