    Hello all,
    I just bought a 2020 Tundra with the hope of using it to pull a 24' enclosed aluminum car hauler. I have had many Toyotas over the years and preferred a Tundra over other trucks. Searching online I see only other brands being used for this purpose. Can anyone shed some light on this? The towing capacity seems to add up, but I can't figure why not a Tundra for so many others.

    Welcome fellow charlottean:cheers::cheers:. I'm also interested in towing info and I'm sure someone will chime in with more info. But you can check your door panel for towing capacities in the mean time. Btw what kind of toy are you haulin in that trailer? Any pics?

    Welcome from NY.
    I have a 20' full steel deck trailer and tow 2002 Camaro's (1at a time:rofl:). I'm sure my trailer is heavier.
    I have no issues pulling it loaded and don't even realize that it is behind me.
    Just make sure you get a weight distribution hitch.
    Good luck.

    **I would like to move down to the Lake Norman area in about 2 to 3 years.

    I tow a 18' car hauler pretty often loaded with my Toyota rock crawler, pulls it great. I did add Firestone ride rite airbags in the rear, to keep the ass end from sagging.
