If it was me I would be looking to solve the problem before trading the truck in. Yes, the Tundra would probably be fine to tow the trailer, and without having the ratings at hand, probably close to its limits with that load.
Friend of mine has a Tundra ext cab, and IMO it rides about the same as my Suburban, which is very similar to your Chevy. GM's torsion bar set up on the front end usually delivers a pretty smooth ride. Start with the easy stuff....since you're not carrying a huge load, what do you have tire pressure set at? How many miles on the shocks? Stock tires?
I'm going to guess that there's something not right with your truck if it's beating you up with the ride.
