    This was just the opposite for us. My wife wanted us to pull a 8k lb mobile home on wheels and I was like, no f'ing way lol.

    I don't know how the lift will affect towing but those specs look like they should be well within the capabilities of your truck. It has the tow package I'm guessing.

    Yea. This is very confusing to me. I had diesel my hole life and 1st gasser. Just to make sure. It looks like long as I still under 24 feet and 6000dry weight I should be good. The specs on my paper work shows 4500 dry not 4300.

    I just wanted to confirm it will be ok. You know the dealership say oh yea. They told my with I can tow a 30 foot 3 slide out camper with no problem. Lol. It’s just me and her.

    The salesmen I dealt with never wanted to discuss the TV specs. It was always, your truck will handle it no problem. The limiting factor on my truck was payload. That seems to be the common theme with these Tundras, not towing capability.
