Define "struggle".
Addressing uphill battles and not straight-line interstate...is it maintaining the speed limit or keeping RPM's low?
If not struggling means keeping RPM low going up hill it will feel like you are struggling...EVEN WITH THE 5.7L...and you will lose significant speed.
I define struggling if I cannot maintain the speed limit uphill with my right foot buried. I do NOT concern myself with RPM's. I let the truck decide what to do, unless its hunting, then I lock a gear.
This all true of any gas motor when towing from small V6's to big V8's.
You're "small" V8 is up to the task, if you do not fear RPM's. But I would also agree, the larger Tundra with larger motor will be more comfortable. It all depends how often you are towing.
