Ditto on weighing the truck loaded for a typical RV trip. Figure your TT will be at its GVWR, and that the tongue weight will be 12-13% or around 800#.

I looked into a 5.7L Tundra for our 7500# trailer below (rated to tow 10,000#), but after weighing our truck & trailer numerous times (per axle & per tire), the rear axle of a newer 5.7L Tundra would have been over its GAWR by 1000# even though the TT is way under the Tundra's tow rating. FWIW!
