I was replying to the guy saying the receiver will not handle the weight. I've had to change the hitch on another truck before, a 2500 diesel.
I'm 30 and I've owned 6 trucks in the last 9 years of different sizes. I am pretty well versed in towing. I currently have only one truck where I usually have 2 trucks for cost purposes I didn't see having another truck working, this Tundra was pretty cheap for what it is.
This truck is rated for 10,500 lbs and I'd believe the corresponding tongue weight off that.
Anyway, so I will be pushing it with this trailer I see. Looks like I would only have a few hundred pounds to spare. I imagine dry weight does not include options like refrigerator, HVAC, and propane tank.
I'll have to look at something smaller.
There is other reasons besides cost for the trailer, would need an office besides my truck but thanks for the advice. The trailer is written off taxes pretty easily as well. Something I'm looking into.
