Can a 2026 Toyota Tacoma tow a Sea Hunt Ultra 219?
It depends on the engine
We estimate a loaded Sea Hunt Ultra 219 on its trailer at about 4,670 lb. 3 are borderline (caution). 1 is not rated for it.
Check your exact setup (add your door-sticker payload and real trailer weight)

2026 Toyota Tacoma towing ratings vs this boat
| Engine / package | Published rating (lb) | Tow | Payload | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR (2.4L i-FORCE) | 3,500 | FAIL | PASS | FAIL |
| XtraCab, i-FORCE (non-SR) | 6,500 | PASS | PASS | CAUTION |
| Double Cab, i-FORCE (non-SR) | 6,400 | PASS | PASS | CAUTION |
| Double Cab, i-FORCE MAX hybrid | 5,950–6,000 | PASS | PASS | CAUTION |
"Published rating" is the lowest–highest conventional (ball-hitch) rating Toyota prints for that engine/package across cab, bed, drive and axle choices. PASS means the loaded trailer is at or under 80% of the lowest rating. Toyota: ratings per SAE J2807; payload includes occupants, cargo and options.
Tongue weight vs payload
Tongue weight should be 10–15% of the loaded trailer: about 467–700 lb. That comes out of your truck's payload along with everyone in the cab, so with two adults (300 lb) you need roughly 767–1,000 lb of payload before any cargo in the bed.
SR (2.4L i-FORCE) FAIL
FAIL 4,670 lb is over every published rating for this engine/package (max 3,500 lb).
PASS Needs about 767-1,000 lb of payload; the lowest published payload for this engine is 1,230 lb.
SR is limited to 3,500 lb.
XtraCab, i-FORCE (non-SR) CAUTION
PASS 4,670 lb is 72% of the lowest published rating (6,500 lb), inside a 20% safety margin.
PASS Needs about 767-1,000 lb of payload; the lowest published payload for this engine is 1,230 lb.
CAUTION Max tongue weight for this truck/hitch is 650 lb.

PASS 4,670 lb is 73% of the lowest published rating (6,400 lb), inside a 20% safety margin.

CAUTION Max tongue weight for this truck/hitch is 640 lb.
Double Cab, i-FORCE MAX hybrid CAUTION
PASS 4,670 lb is 78% of the lowest published rating (5,950 lb), inside a 20% safety margin.

Confirm with your door-jamb sticker and owner's manual. Your exact truck's rating depends on cab, bed, drive, axle ratio, options and tires, and your boat's real weight depends on its engine, options, fuel and gear. When in doubt, weigh the rig at a CAT scale.
Gear you may need
Placeholder links (not affiliate links yet). Disclosure.
Trailer brake controller
Boat trailers over about 3,000 lb usually need working trailer brakes (check your state's law); an electric-over-hydraulic or electric setup needs a controller in the truck.
Class IV receiver hitch & ball mount
Match the ball mount drop to your trailer so the boat rides level; the hitch rating must cover the full loaded trailer.
Tongue weight scale
The only way to know your real tongue weight (10-15% of the loaded trailer) before it eats your payload.
