Avoid the common mistake of starting out with a big heavy trailer and just enough truck.
My cousin bought a classic old canned ham trailer. He works in Hollywood and lives in his trailer when not at home. He bought a Tundra new and sold it. He bought a Ford F-250 and now has no problems.
Tundras and F-150s have their limitations. If you are new at towing you probably do not want to be anywhere near the max towing limits.
What kind of trailers are you considering? You need to have that discussion before you decide on a truck. You might need to consider a larger truck.
