Weight is the issue with a mid size truck.
How much does the Palomino weigh empty?
Whatever it weighs add 350 pounds for food, water, gear, etc plus people?
Contact Palomino to get the weight with the options you have (3 way fridge, etc, etc). Find out what type of frame it has wood - heavy? or aluminum"
The GVWR of the Tacoma is 5500 pounds. Our 2013 4.0 V6 without the tailgate and half tank gas no people weighs 4100 pounds. The axles are rated at 5800 pounds and 10 ply tires rated at 6,000 pounds.
When I go to the desert for a week, Our rig weighs 6100 pounds loaded with a full tank of fuel and one person. The reason the factory gross is 5500 pounds relates to the stopping ability of the brakes. We downshift the auto trans when going down off ramps using the transmission to help slow it down.
We really have to drive conservatively when we tow the Samurai because we don't use its brakes. We could if we paid about $ 800 for the braking device. Hasn't been an issue in the 3,000 plus miles we've towed it.

I use/used turnbuckles that attach to the 4 frame connected bolts in the newer Tacoma composite bed. I improvised some heavy duty rappel anchor type hangers for the 2 front turnbuckles as I surmised these were the most important. Had to drill out the hanger slightly for the as supplied Toyota bolts that seem to be around 7/16"
My Palomino has been mostly off the truck as I use it for work so wanted a set up that I could rig pretty quickly for weekend trips.

The web site does not show the rap hangers that are fabricated from 1/4" plate stock.
