Will our Tundra tow this?

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

We are looking at purchasing a 2011 Keystone Springdale 311 . Our tow vehicle is. 2012 Toyota Tundra 4x4 5.7 L Force V8, with the tow package (4.300 rear axle ratio). Our concern is whether or not this trailer could be towed safely .

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.

Definitely want to be safe AND comfortable!

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.

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.

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.

What are the weights vs your turds tow limits?

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