I can't help you with a TT model. But, be careful with the length and hitch weight of the trailer. I towed a 2450 Trailmanor with a v6 Tacoma DC. It did great. I moved up to a 5.6 v8 4Runner that would tow approx. 8500 LB. I went to an RV show and bought a Cruiser Inc. 24SD ViewFinder TT 4450 LB Dry. The 4Runner pulled it up Colorado Mountains like it was not there. Problem, The length, hitch weight plus short wheelbase caused it to squirm and sway so bad it was "white knuckles" all the way, even with WD hitch and 2 sway control bars. Traded the 4Runner for 5.7 v8 Tundra DC 10000+ tow rating with tow pkg. With WD hitch (no sway bars) I forget the trailer is back there. I am adding rear air bags to the truck only because I carry a 3200 watt Onan/Cumins Gen and lots of other stuff when we go to the mountains. Be sure you hook one up and pull it around some before you buy.
