    I just posted my question with error let's try again. I am buying a camper that weighs 4730 dry weight. And has a GWVR OF 6800. My truck is a 2002 Toyota tundra SR5 access cab. It says that my truck will tow from 4900-7200 lbs. Can anyone advise if they think my truck will tow that camper with any problems. We only go to the beach and it's all pretty flat trip. Thanks in advance for your advice.

    If you do put new brakes on, do the WL13 brake upgrade.

    The beach is 68 miles. And I am putting the Z23 evolution sport brake upgrade kit on it. Someone in here suggested I adjust the lever mounted on the rear frame. They said it would take some of the strain off of the front brakes. Do I turn the nut downward or upward to do this? Referring to attached picture.upload_2022-4-25_7-36-30.jpg
