Not well. Always assume you will load the trailer to it's max GVW once you put everything in it for your trips. In your case, 8,800 lbs. Weigh your truck with a full tank of fuel, you, your family, and everything else you would have in it for a trip.

If your Tundra is a double cab, 4x4, or both, your tow rating is well under the 8,800 lb. figure.I think they are rated at 8,000 or 8,100 lbs. max..
