Towing with a tundra in the mountains
Considering going to Colorado and towing a 30' TT with a 2016 Tundra. Weight is about 6400 lbs. I would like some feedback on what to expect.

Good advice from many folks with Tundras here. You should be fine (though I also doubt your TT weight will be as low as 6400 lbs with that long a trailer. Our previous TT was 34' and we maxed it out to its GVWR of about 7600 lbs.) Tundras also have the engine braking feature, which helps with the downhills (I still use it in the semi-manual mode when towing, though, as the transmission doesn't "hunt" as much that way.) No problem whatsoever going uphill, just don't figure you're going to drive 70 mph up those long, high passes. Just take it easy.
