    I know the numbers for weight but I'm looking to see how long a camping trailer folks are comfortable pulling with a 2022-24 v-6 TT Tundra. 5th wheel experience?

    My opinion is that no half ton truck should be towing a 5th wheel unless it is one of those casita type ultralights which come in way less than most.

    9k-10k lbs is more typical from manufacturers "half ton" 5th wheels, which is too much for most half tons as they come equipped. I don't know how much experience you have towing, but it you have ever towed near limit or above, it is a usually a miserable white knuckle experience.

    I won't even get into safety or the strain of the half ton truck pulling such loads.

    80/20 towing rule and using the right tool (truck) for the job come to mind.

    Thanks, I do adhere to the 80/20 rule and I agree about driving on the edge.
