Suggestions on towing with 4.6L Toyota Tundra

Ok, Here is what I am looking at:

2016 Keystone Bullet 287QBS 5734 lbs

2007 - 2010 Toyota Tundra 4.6L V8 tow rate 8600 lbs

Figure 1000 lbs for supplies and people

So looking at somewhere around 1500 lbs to play with

I know if I go with the 5.7L V8 (10,600 lbs tow rate) I would be fine
But I am on the fence with the 4.6L V8 as I don't want to head to the mountain and struggle up hills.

The main issue is finding a 5.7L V8 that is in my price range. I can find the 4.6L all day long but very limited with the 5.7L.

So my question is does anyone tow 7000 lbs with the 4.6 V8 Toyota Tundra and do you have any issue towing?

Thanks

I towed a lighter trailer (approx 4500 lb loaded) with the Sequoia with the same engine. It did fine, with some downshifting into 3rd on long or steep grades, like I-80 in eastern Wyoming. I would not have wanted to be towing anything as heavy as your trailer with it.
