I have a 1/2 tonne . Crewmax tundra . All I have is a full exhaust for performance and bigger rims/tires. I tow a 31 foot camper with a dry weight of 6700 lbs.
I camp like you mentioned , with in a 150 mile radius for now. I do not feel underpowered. the engine revs but I ride motorcycles that redline at 12k and rev them redline all the time. So if you tell me I am doing something wrong will disagree. My current motorcycle stays in the red line or close you on the track all day and with close to 100k runs like the day I brought it.
get a good wdh/sway control system. I have the equi-l-zer 4 pt with in built sway. Its loud but it works great.
I never felt unstable with my setup. the thing that tows. i used to have a turbo diesel as my car in college. I love diesel but the truck is my wife`s and she uses it take kids to kindergarden / preschool , grocery shopping .It fits in our garage which is very important in northeast to put kids in and out in bad weather. she does not want a diesel . she brought the camper too.
