Our Tundra pulls our Minnie without a problem. The 2451BHS model only has a dry weight of 60 more lbs. Winnebago Minnie
I pulled our old Sunline (30', approx. 75000 lbs.) just a couple of times with our Tundra and would not wanted to do it all the time as the load just felt too heavy and power lacking for any mountain driving. My rig weighs 6200 lbs. minus food, drink and any water in the fresh water tank. We've already done trips from OH to Florida and New Orleans and it has been an easy tow! My average gas mileage is between 9 and 9.5 mpg. with travels speeds maxing at 65 for the most part, but I have done some stretches at 70.
IMHO, bottom line is don't plan to tow more than 6500 lbs. considering you'll have four people in the truck and probably some stuff in the truck bed.
