    The truck is not a lux model, it's an SR5 TRD DC with Max payload 1745

    What does the sticker on your door panel say? There’s a good chance it’s less than 1745.

    Hell, let’s go with it.

    Pin weight empty-1245


    Trailer empty 8345 lbs x 15.25%=1273 (close enough)

    Camper Payload is 1470 lbs. let’s say they pack light and use a little over half of that weight 750 lbs.

    8345+750=9095 lbs

    9095x15.25%=1387 lbs pin weight.

    1387+100 lbs hitch=1487 lbs pin weight.

    1745 lb payload - 1487 pin weight= 258 lbs.

    Hope they take a crap before leaving and both weigh 129 lbs or less.

    Not likely. Maybe their pin weight is less. Most storage in campers is up front, so it’s not unrealistic to maintain the empty pin weight ratio (more likely would go up)

    You'd have to put literally nothing in the truck except the driver and nothing in the trailer. Get someone to come behind in a second Tundra with batteries, propane, food, water, gear, etc.

    I'm tired of you guys constantly being a bunch of negative Nancys when it comes to towing 5th wheels w/Tundras, so I'm going this route...

    I know this was a gag, but the little trailer toad thing on the car is actually the best solution I've seen for the Tundra's payload woes. I did a bit of research and even created a thread on them -> https://www.tundras.com/threads/trailer-toad-what-do-you-guys-think.81663/
