TOYOTA TUNDRA - who's towing a camper with a Tundra?
Just wondering who is towing a camper with a newer 5.7 Tundra. If so give us the details on your truck and the camper you are towing. And how satisfied are you with its Towing capabilities?

Own an '08 Tundra that I've had since new. Only use it to tow our 29ft TT.
Total weight is about #8500 and I love it. It's a rock solid towing platform that you can just set the cruise and not worry about.
I'm sure that a diesel would pull better - but I don't want or need a diesel. My bro and dad both have diesels (Ford & Dodge) both of those vehicles have left them stranded. Both are newer too.
The Tundra has never left me stranded and has been used to rescue both of them.
I do get worse gas mileage when towing then they do (8 vs 11/12). But the difference in cost of fuel/maintenance means the Tundra is cheaper over-all and fits MY needs.
