I have a 2011 V6 Tacoma with a tow package myself with a somewhat rare 6 speed manual transmission. I have hauled a car on a flat bed behind it on a short haul from ME to NH. It's not that the truck can't handle it, it can, but I would not want to do it cross country.

I had the same problem you did when I moved to NH from Colorado. I ended up getting a flat bed and towed that behind our rented moving truck, but I also rented a large moving truck. I would NOT put anything on a dolly for reasons already stated, even with the drive shaft removed. I think they are fundamentally unsafe for a long haul.
