Will our Tundra tow this?

I would be a bit concerned with the length pushing you around too much.

What are the weights vs your turds tow limits?

According to the data I can find, max weight for truck is 9800lbs. The trailer, fully loaded, is 9595lbs. Truck max tongue weight is 1030 lbs, trailer tongue weight is 795.

Thanks!

Towing light doesn't mean your towing safe.

However, this is at the limits of the Gen2 Tundra, probably beyond when fully loaded. It will tow it, but you may not be comfortable while doing so.

Personally, I would not tow that long of a trailer with a Tundra. You will have the tail wagging the dog. Your limit will probably be the trucks GVWr once loaded plus the hitch weight.

Definitely want to be safe AND comfortable!

According to the Springdale Specifications for 2011, the "shipping weight" for the 311RESSR is 7700#.
It is likely the trailer, when loaded, could weigh 9000# or more.
The loaded tongue weight could be 1200# or more.

According to the 2012 Tundra Technical Specificatons, Page 5, the maximum tongue weight for your Tundra is 1050# or less.
It is likely the 311RESSR would have a tongue weight in excess of your Tundra's rated tongue weight capacity.

Also according to the Technical Specifications, the "payload" for your Tundra could be as low as 1450# -- which could be used up almost entirely by the 311RESSR's tongue weight.
The TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION sticker on your driver's door edge/pillar lists a value for Maximum Weight of Occupants of and Cargo. If you subtract a tongue weight of 1200# from this value, the remainder will be the allowable weight of occupants and cargo which could be carried in/on the Tundra.

It looks as though the tongue weight of the loaded 311RESSR is likely to exceed the Tundra's tongue weight spec and likely to cause the GVWR to be exceeded.

That's the kind of info we needed! Thanks, Ron!

It will certainly tow it, lots of power, but probably can't carry it, not enough payload.

The length isn't so much the issue, but weight will be. The listed 7700lbs trailer weight and 795lbs tongue weight are for the trailer "dry". Empty, with no options. Guaranteed over 9k once loaded with over 1k tongue weight.

You don't mention what model Tundra you have but those weights will put you over GVWR (payload), receiver rating and possibly the tire and axle ratings too even if you're under the fictional tow rating.

A crewmax averages around 1300lbs for payload, a double cab is a little higher around 1500lbs. Knock off 1k+ in tongue weight plus another 100lbs for the WD hitch. Subtract the weight of any aftermarket add ons too and you don't have much left, if any, for passengers and stuff.

I tow a Bullet 31BHPR with my '07 Tundra crewmax. It's nearly 35' long but only 6400lbs dry, much less than what you are considering. Loaded up we are 7600lbs with 950lbs on the tongue. With the family on board we average around 300lbs over GVWR and just under the RAWR. You're starting 1300lbs heavier.

It works for us because it's what we have but I would get a bigger truck or smaller trailer if we were to do it again.

Based on my Tundra, you want to be 7,000 lbs or less.
At around 6300 lbs loaded, our Winnebago 2201DS seems to be very well matched for our Tundra. I really wouldn't want to tow too much more.
