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 should elaborate a little here... The vast majority of the time this camper will sit on my private land along the river. I will only pull it from there to my house (2 miles) and to winter storage (7 miles)
The Tundra is overbuilt and just like a 3/4 diesel, it can handle more than its ratings, so for that particular situation you should be fine...Tow it.
Incorrect and very dangerous advice.
I disagree, and more than a few also agree that for this particular situation it is ok. The truck is overbuilt and can handle that particular situation. I know a few people who abuse their Tundra more than that.
"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".
You have no idea what his payload capacity is nor the actual weight of the trailer. Yet you can advise the OP that it is ok to overload the truck. Gotta love the armchair engineers!
