Toyota Tundra and small 5'ver
Anyone out there pulling a 5'ver with a Tundra? If so what are your impressions, and what 5'ver are you pulling with the Toyota?

You are asking the right question.
I have been pulling a ultralight 5th wheel with my Tundra for quite a while now.
Plenty of power pulling and stopping.
Problem is the the suspension.
While the truck has plenty of muscle, it's still a 1/2 ton pickup.
I am about 400 lbs over cargo capacity. Still under GAWR but I am pushing it.
I love the truck, but if I had it to do over again I think I would have gone 3/4 ton.
Some say a 3/4 ton rides rough empty but so does my Tundra.
E rated tires have replaced the squishy P rated stock tires and that helped with the "Loaded" ride but she's pretty rough empty.
So, can you do it? Probably if you find the right trailer.
Should you do it? That's for you to decide.
Now you have to decide what brand of 3/4 ton. :)
Have a great weekend!
