Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX3795 is listed in our fit guided for the Toyota.

While per the manufacturer, you should not attempt to flat tow a Toyota Tacoma because you will damage the transmission/drivetrain, anything can be made to flat tow if you make enough changes. This is not the norm, and actually only a very small percentage of people will go to this much trouble and expense to make a vehicle such as the Toyota Tacoma able to be flat towed, but some do.
