Does this exist?

Here's some options if you want to carry the Jetta. Look on this website and you will see in order to carry a car you need to go with a really big truck. http://www.hhrvresource.com/

An alternative for your needs is to get a lightweight 5th wheel or TT for fun trips. For the long distance moves, have the Jetta transported across country. Look at www.uship.com you can find transporters that will bid to carry your Jetta to whereever you need it.

Hi,

Your Tundra will limit your ability to tow something large enough to haul the VW. Most toy haulers only have a 1,000 pound rated ramp, and most will also be limited to about 2,000 pounds total cargo rating in a travel trailer configuration. Larger fifth wheels will have a 3,000 - 5,000 pound cargo rating, but also come with a 3,000 - 5,000 pound hitch weight, that your Tundra will not handle well.

My suggestion is to find a lightweight travel trailer that your Tundra can tow, and then drive the car separately. Look at the Lance lineup, and other light weight travel trailer lines. Your truck should be able to handle about 800 - 900 pounds of hitch weight, not much more and still handle well.

When moving, I would suggest that anything heavy be put into the car, not the truck. This will increase the overall load being carried by the car, and get the truck/trailer GCVWR as low as possible.

If you had a dually F-350, then I would suggest several of the 38 -43' long toyhaulers, and then figure out a way to load the car without exceeding the ramp weight limit. But you don't have a dually with a 5,500 pound cargo rating. Those toyhaulers will have a 15,000 to 21,000 GVWR, that will exceed the GCVWR of your Tundra. The tundra tow rating is probably less than 10,000 pounds.

Good Luck,

Fred.

Welcome to the forum. I like your train of thought but you may be looking at several obstacles. First, I think you will be over your payload on a Tundra. Sorry Tundra folks, I don't mean it personally. Most trailers are @ 96" wide on the outside, which will leave you with more like 92" interior. Are you really skinny?? I think you may want to look at a used motor home and a dolly, or have someone drive the Jetta for you. If you find a way to fit it into the 5er toy hauler, watch carefully your weight capacities. Seems like your TV need is more in the 3/4 ton range to me. Good Luck!!!

We will have 2 adults, 1 child, and 2 dogs. We don't need fancy, just functional. Or am I going in the wrong direction for this?

do both adults drive? that is going to require quite a TV for a 5er/toy hauler plus that vehicle. scale back and drive both vehicles.

Sorry but no, a toy hauler like that with the vehicle in it is going to weigh a LOT more than what your truck can handle.
