Mainly note, however, that your current Total weight of 8700+ is already greater than the maximum Toyota calls for (8100); once you add your 1000 lb. motorcycle, plus probably another 300 - 800 lbs of "stuff", you're gonna be 2000 lbs or so over their maximum limit.
Bottom line, (assuming the Toyota numbers I found are correct) you need a bigger truck.

I have basically decided to buy a new truck. Probably a 1/2 ton F150 would be enough for this toy hauler. But, before I do get the new truck, I'll throw some stuff in the back of the trailer to see how weight in the back affects things. If it helps, I may reconsider, but I'm pretty sure I'll be upgrading.
