I've owned/towed with a '11 and '12 Tundra 5.7, cross-country a number of times. Payload ratings on these trucks vary somewhat---most are 1,300 to 1,500 lbs. Receiver is rated at approx. 1,050 - 1,100 lbs. 1,100 lbs. of tongue weight on our Tundras (along with 1,100 lb. WDH bars) would still drop the rear about 2.5". The axle housing was approx. 1/2 to 1" away from the rubber bump stop. Even while traveling over small road imperfections we could distinctly feel the axle housing hitting the bump stop.
Towed like a 1/2-ton truck. Over-engineered? Maybe in some areas, but not in terms of payload.
