Tundra with dump trailer

Anyone on here regularly tow a dump trailer with their Tundra? More specifically a bumper hitch with 2-3ft sides around 7x12 or 7x14? Looking to hear some first hand experiences on how the Tundra handles a heavier trailer, currently pull a utility trailer that weighs around 2000lbs so I'd be more than doubling my weight. Its for my landscape business so it would just be around town, nothing crazy just tired of unloading everything by hand and the time wasted doing so. Im hoping to get an HD truck in about a year, do I need to wait on the trailer until I get it? Possibly regear to 5.30's? 2012 with the 5.7 engine

 

I have a 7x12 dump trailer and it weighs 3900 empty. I had 2.97 tons in it yesterday and hauling it was very comfortable (9840 total weight of demo waste plus trailer). I installed a Roadmaster Active Suspension which is a helper device that minimizes squat when hitched up or the bed is loaded.

I have the Tekonsha P3 brake controller and it works well. I hauled a similar heavy weight without a break controller and almost died because it couldn’t stop, a truly terrifying experience. So get a P3 brake controller and you should be good. But if you’re regularly towing over 8k, you should get a 3/4 or 1 ton.

Just my opinions, others may feel differently.

 

Thanks!!! this was the info I was looking for. I already have the Tekonsha P3 so im good there. Ill check out the RoadMaster. Im not regularly towing 8k or more just every once in a while and its all around town, nothing crazy or far away. Again thanks for the Info.

 

Same here. Tow it like 8 times a year, mostly local.
I figured for $600 and 1 hour to DIY install, getting the Roadmaster was low risk. Easy to remove if I don’t like it.
