    B3677D0E-DFD7-490B-A8C5-ED6CABF9DC55.jpg Hello one and all. Just purchased my 4th Toyota but first truck from Toyota of Louisville. I bought to replace a 2015 5.3l 2WD Silverado which I had to “permanently retire” at 89k due to transmission failure. I pull a 8000 maximum pound travel trailer and bought the Chevy because I thought the Tundra wasn’t rated for that kind of weight. A good friend of mine who I worked alongside at toyota dealers is now a Toyota field engineer, told me I was wrong and the Tundra was more than enough to pull my travel trailer with a 10,000 pound plus rating.
    I do have a few questions to search before I ask in here but does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts about towing?
