    Hey guys, need some expertise. I am rocking the experience of being a tundra owner. But this weekend, I am going up to hook my new camper to it.. it's a 27' pull behind. Total weight camper will be is around 6500 lbs. A couple questions, 1. How do you think it will do pulling it? I was pulling it with a 2012 nissan pathfinder before. I had some mods in pathfinder to do it, but excited about trying with stock 5.7 tundra crew cab. 2nd, please explain the electronic brake control to me. I understand everything except one thing. Its has a button for type. Please explain that to me. Again thanks for the help..

    I had told my wife, I will wait till I can get what I want. Had plenty of times and chances to buy a dodge. I knew my father would disown me if I bought a toyota, but it was worth it. He was a great dad!!! Lol
