    This doesn't seem very safe to me, but this guy has posted two videos of him towing a fifthwheel RV with his Tundra.

    Minus tow mirrors looks good to me. I see guys towing bumper pulls that are the same length or longer and a fifth wheel or gooseneck will tow much better than a bumper pull...…….

    Wonder if his CrewMax is over capacity?

    Good video, but if you noticed most of the dash footage was going down a grade. Not real difficult. Some of the footage going up grades and you seen what was going on.

    A 5th wheel setup will always tow better than a bumper pull. I see a few Tundra trucks pulling them in CO once in a while.

    Here is a 5th wheel well within the towing capacity of a Tundra. Escape 5.0, 5,500 Lbs GVW.
