Expert Reply:
The best weight distribution and sway control for your 2012 Toyota Tacoma towing a KZ Sportsman Classic 160RBT would be the Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features the best sway control for fighting sway before it starts. If safety is the goal this is by far your best option.
Any time the weight of the trailer is over half of the weight of the tow vehicle a weight distribution system is strongly recommended so for you it would be a really great option.
