The weight of a 1710 Ford tractor is very manageable for the towing products we offer for your 2019 Tacoma like the etrailer.com hitch part # e98905 which has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs. Then to install a 7-way trailer connector for the wiring you'd need the kit part # 22117 and you'd be set.

For a brake controller I'd recommend the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your phone it's ready to go. This brake controller is proportional which means it senses the amount of deceleration your tow vehicle is applying and applies the trailer brakes in a relative way. This is the easiest to install and best performing controller out there so we recommend it for you highly.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
