Cindy,
Some numbers are in order.
2016 Tundra CrewMax, I'm assuming 4x4 weighs either (in pounds)
5570, 5645, 5670, 5690 depending.
The GVWR, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is: 7000 to 7200 pounds.
That leaves the payload capacity at 1430 to 1555 pounds.
I see no heavy duty factory option as to drive train, suspension, brakes, or tires.
You have these options:
1. Get a larger, higher GVWR truck. or,
2. Get the smallest, lightest pop-up camper you can find and still be overloaded. The Lance 650 on a Tundra would be living on the edge alright.
I wish it weren't so. I like the Tundra platform, but it's made to look good, with good power and have a cushy empty ride.
Thousands of potential TC buyers have faced your predicament before you. Some even understood the paradigm shift.
