Just my opinion, but one should have brakes on that boat/trailer package for safety.

I suspect that an Outrage 22, rigged up and full of fuel, plus trailer, will be close to 4000lbs, which is what the Tacoma weighs. (I have a 2006 tacoma V6 4x4).I tow my 18 (boat and trailer +/- 2900#) without brakes, but my stopping distances are at the limit of what feels safe.

The truck will pull it ok, but it won't be able to stop it fast enough.
