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...

I agree with everyone else who says it is OK to pick it up and drive it home as long as there is absolutely zero added weight in either the truck or the trailer and you drive slowly. You can also take it to/from nearby storage under those same conditions.
There is no way I would load up the truck and trailer for camping and tow it with that truck. Anywhere.
Like has been said above: go out to your truck and get the payload rating off of the door sticker. Subtract your weight from that (and any other passengers who are riding with you). Now, look on your actual hitch receiver for its tongue weight limit. Take whichever of those two numbers is smaller. Divide that by 13%, and that is the truck's absolute maximum available for a trailer that you can safely tow. If camping, all of the camping stuff that you load into the truck must also be subtracted from the truck's payload rating before choosing the smaller of the two numbers.
