Manduca sexta
This caterpillar is bright green with white stripes across. No "hair" except a pointy end at the tail. Its main food are solanaceaus plants, like tobacco or in this case, tomato.
Found mainly in he Gulf Coast, this caterpillar feeds only from solanaceaus plants and it is a big defoliator.

My guess would be a Tobacco Hornworm
