Tundra Tundra camper compatibility
Hello All, I have what is probably a somewhat annoying question concerning camper weight and towing capacity. I have a pretty good feeling I'm ok but I'm no expert and I would really appreciate some...

Check cargo capacity on the driver's side jamb. With only the driver, that's your limit for payload or tongue weight. 13% of the trailer's gross weight is in a good range for towing. It might be more or less. 8153 lbs sounds like a brochure weight or it might be when it left the Mfg. In all events it will be slightly more.
You're looking at an estimated tongue weight of 1050 lbs to 1100 lbs. Check your hitch ratings. if it is 1000 lbs, in some situations, at 1100 Lbs, I would try it. Make sure you have a good WDH when towing to move some weight back to the front axle. If you have the time, load the Tundra with 1100 lbs., in the bed, close to the tail gate. Drive the truck to observe the handling. In any event, you will be close to the towing capacity of the truck and will not enjoy the limits it places on driving. A one time tow to a private camping spot, OK. Taking a long trip to the West Coast, no.
Good luck with whatever works out with a trailer!
