Another question about TV...

Hi, New to the forums.

I apologize in advance because I'm certain that this subject has been beaten to death.

My wife and I are completely new to the camping thing and are very excited to get started. I have a 2008 Toyota tundra double cab with a 4.7 liter v-8, the specs tell me that it is capable of towing up to 8100 lbs, we recently purchased a used 2007 Skyline Aljo 192lt to pull around. I intend to use a Husky centerline weight distribution/anti sway system, and I have a question that hopefully you fine people can break down to basics for me.

***Link Removed***

1. The dealer has assured me (naturally) that I should have no issues towing this, Is this true in your estimation?

2. Are there any tips or tricks you folks might have with regards to taking this out for the first time? I intend to take it to the high desert area where I live and there is one incline a few miles in length.
Again I apologize in advance for the possible ignorance in what I'm asking but I've read and researched this all to the point that I believe I've made myself more confused than when I started.

EDIT: I guess my real concern is this, the specs show the trailer as weighing 3250 lbs yet the label on the trailer shows a GVWR of 6150 lbs. what does this mean?

EDIT2: I see the link to the specs was removed so I've copy pasted them below.

Then I think you should be fine.

Check the tires' date code. If they are original 2007 or older than 5- 6 years old, they need to be replaced (even if they "look" good.)

Enjoy your new rig and congrats.


Will do! and thank you!
