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 ...

Per my 2010 Specifications manual;
What good is your specification manual? It does not list payloads as equipped on dealer lots or what people buy. It only lists the payloads per trim level, no options. Take a poll next time you visit a Toyota dealer. Open all the driver's doors and locate this sticker. Document what they have for "The combined wight of occupants and cargo shall not exceed xxxx pounds".
All regular cab models have minimum 1620 lbs payload up to 2015 lbs for the Reg cab 5.7 4x2. The Reg cab 5.7 4x4 drops to a dismal 1945 lbs payload... terrible "grocery getter" numbers...
All regular cabs? All regular cabs with no options per trim level maybe. And as I mentioned, regular cabs account for about 10% of full size truck sales, about half of those to fleets and small businesses.
The Limited doublecab with 4.6 engine has 1410 lbs, the base doublecab with V6 has 1450 lbs payload, the base doublecab 4.6 engine with long bed has 1340 lbs and everything else starts at 1515 lbs up to 1745 lbs payload capacity.
Again... we have no idea what model Tundra the OP has, what engine, what bed size, etc.
#3 The Tundra is a good tow vehicle for trailers that fit the specifications of the truck.
I agree.
#2 The Tundra is offered in...payload...similar to what the other manufacturers offer.
I disagree. Ford/GM are higher, again as equipped what people buy. Ram is lower.
All manufactures list payloads in the same way, max payload per bed/cab, maybe even trim level. But you are discussing theoretical payloads and I know what I have seen on actual trucks people buy.
Check the payload on the Ram in this test[/ur], about 800 pounds!
