After reading countless threads about towing with the Sequoia, I am left with more questions. Now it is has me questioning by pending purchase.
In the next hour or so, I plan to purchase a 2008 Limited 2WD. The model code is USK60L-GKTLKA.
GVWR is 7100
Curb Weight is 5730
GCWR is 14000, maybe 16000
So by that calculation I have 1370 left for the tongue wieight of the trailer and passengers, cargo, etc in the truck.
The trailer I have I towed with an excursion I sold.
30.6 ft. Tango Trailer
GVWR is 7400
Dry Weight 5760
Tongue Weight 720
My calculations is as follows.
5730 Curb Weight + 5760 Trailer Dry Weight + 1520 (Payload, including tongue weight of trailer{720}) = 13010
Are my calculations correct? Looks like I may exceed my payload by 150 lbs or so.
Cant the receiver hitch handle my 720 tongue weight of the trailer?
Am I asking for trouble going over my payload by a couple of hundred pounds?
Any input as soon as possible would be appreciated!
YOur calculations are not accurate it appears youi are using the unloaded tongue weight and you are still over by a few hundred pounds.
Are you not carrying any cargo in your trailer?
The Sequoia is not an Excursion when it comes to towing.
The Sequoia is a decent vehicle but it is not a good vehicle for towing a large trailer
