Toyota tundra?
We are new to towing a travel trailer. I want to buy a tundra because I have loved all my Toyota cars but my husband doesn't think it will tow a jayco lite (7800lbs) 31 ft. Can anyone shed some light ...

Most Tundras have a payload of over 1500 lbs.
I disagree with that. Average double cab may have 1500 pounds per the Tire and Loading sticker. I've never seen a Crewmax with over 1500 pounds. 1200-1350 is the range I have rear, as equipped the way people buy them. Regular cabs make up about 10% of sales mix. No one buys the stripper/base model that each manufacturer lists on web sites and brochures. DC/CM split the rest. For about the same options/features, the Tundra is about 125 pounds lower than Ford/GM. Ram is a further 100 pounds lower.
Tundra seems to handle very well at or over its payload/axle/GVWR ratings. And extra 100 pounds of any competitor is not likely to impact handling much. And as much as this forum (myself included) likes to speak of Ford's Max tow and HD payload packages, they are rare, like <2% of sales volume.
