I'm afraid you're falling into a common trap with new RV trailer owners. You're looking at tow capacity when in reality you need to be looking at payload first. What model Tundra - crew cab? What's the payload? It should be on a yellow sticker on the drivers door pillar.
Now add the weights of your passengers and "stuff" you'll be carrying. And 600# seems light for a hitch weight, it'll probably be closer to 800# and more for the Gray Wolf. And now add the weight of your hitch. Remember - the hitch weight is cantilevered over the rear axle. You'll be unloading the front axle and adding that weight to the rear axle. A WD (weight distribution) hitch will get you some, but not all, of that weight back.
As far as trailers, take your pick. Having a good dealer is more important than brand.
Thanks for the responses!
I will get back to you all later today when I get a chance.
