how much TH would you pull with a Tundra crew max

Going by the above posted numbers and if you keep the loading reasonable you should have no problem. Biggest concern is the trucks payload so watch the tongue weight and try to keep the bed empty.

I tow the TT in my sig with no problems at all, even in the hills. We're just under 8k loaded with 1k tongue weight. With the family onboard, bikes in the bed and canoe on the roof we are about 400lbs over payload but under axle, tire and tow ratings so I'm not overly concerned about a few hundred pounds on payload. Set up properly you should have minimal sag (my truck sits level) and braking should not be a problem. The Tundra has huge brakes, but the trailer should provide most of its own braking. The weak point would be the stock P rated tires. I would suggest upgrading those.

Apples and Oranges. Can't compare a traditional TT to a toy hauler.

I would not recommend a 24' toy hauler behind a 1/2 ton truck. Been there done that, two transmissions toasted.

A Tundra is perfect for one of those tent trailers with an open bed area at the front of the trailer for bikes etc. I think Fleetwood made/makes those trailers?

The Rage'N FK1900 TH has a GVWR of 7,450# and empty of 4070# . It lists the hitch weight at 450#, but of course that's empty.
This TH would work if you could keep the hitch weight below your truck's specs. With bicycles and beach balls, that shouldn't be a problem.
Do some research before listening to all the nay sayers on here.

I am not familiar with the Ragen but I have heard they are very well built (heavy) trailers.

The issue with toy haulers is that they are designed to be extremely tongue heavy so as to be able to support a balanced load while hauling toys behind the rear axles. If you think about it, starting with a perfectly balanced trailer and then adding 1500-2000 lbs of cargo on or behind the rear axles would leave a very unbalanced setup for towing. If you're not going to be hauling toys then maybe not a good choice to have a TH.

Even at 24 feet I would be willing to bet the tongue on that TH would be pushing 1200-1300lbs if not a little more and that would eat up the Tundra before you even attach it to the ball.

Thats what I was thinking.
May have to let him use a "real" truck. A DRW

My buddy towed a 24' Attitude from Yuma to the dunes with 1 quad in the trailer. Truck pulled up and was on its bump stops, he said he could hardly stop the trailer, the trailer was pushing the truck all over the road. That was only 24 miles. He said never again.

So no, not set up to tow a toy hauler.
