Toyota Tundra as a TV???
Hi, Looking for some feedback from those of you who own a Tundra. How happy are you with it overall and as a tow vehicle? How would you compare it to other trucks on the market. thanks matt

That 785 hitch weight is dry. I'll guess it'll be closer to 1000 lbs loaded. Figure another 50+ lbs for a WDH you are now at 1050 lbs. I'm guessing your available payload is around 1400 lbs in a crewmax (assume that's what you meant by maxcab). You are going to be pushing, if not over, your payload/GVWR.
If you don't mind the possibility that you might be over you GVWR, you should be fine. The engine has gobs of power. With a quality WDH and sway control you should be able to handle a 31 foot RV... but that is pretty long for a half ton truck.
You probably have some spongy P rated tires on your Tundra. You might look into upgrading to LT tires for less lateral movement while towing. My Tundra has E rated tires from the factory. They are very solid and don't give me any feelings of sway while towing.
