Can my 06 Tundra tow this?

I'm interested in purchasing a Lance 2375 trailer and I'm wondering if my 2006 can safely tow it.

According to the manual my truck can pull 12,100 lbs with a 700 lb tongue wt. My truck weighs 5000 lbs, with me in it and a full tank of gas. Which leaves 7100 lbs for the trailer and cargo.

The trailer specs are as follows.
Overall Length 28'0"
Gross Dry Weight 5030 Lbs.
Hitch Dry Weight 600 Lbs.
Axle Weight 4430 Lbs.
Cargo Carrying Capacity 1970 Lbs.
GVWR 7000 Lbs.
Fresh Tank 45 Gallons
Grey Tank 45 Gallons
Black Tank 45 Gallons

I know the TT cargo capacity is 1970 but since it is just the wife and I that we'd be some where around 1000 lbs.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Bob

    12,000lbs and 700lb tongue weight is sort of a fantasy trailer and the fodder that all the rvnet weight cops live off of, but a new Tundra will handle the trail,r your proposing just fine.

    To stay under your 700 pound tongenweight limit, you're probably stuck with trailer under 22'.

    The trailer in your example will easily have 900 pounds of tongue weight once it's delivered and ready to travel, possibly more depending on where the storage and fresh water tank is.

    PS - beware of brochure Dry Weigts. They are notoriously understated compared to actual empty weights, which you can find on the yellow sticker posted inside the door frame of every trailer.
