    Hi I just purchased a 2012 Artic Fox 25p TT and I think I’m at the top of a tundras pulling range of 10,300 lbs. I previously hag a 24 ‘ TT and it pulled like a dream even grades. What can I expect from this on this size it trailer it 27 ‘ long. Is there any advice on similar set up as mine. 2012 Artic fox TT 2011 Toyota Tundra crew max 4 x 4 rock warrior 5.7 I have added true dual exhaust and the truck has 40 k miles. Interest to hear. Both Toyota sealer and trailer salesman said truck would pull no problem. Let me know.

    the dry weight of the trailer is almost 7000 lbs...what is the loaded weight? like with water, and other stuff (it add up quickly). Also need to know what the tongue weight of the trailer is...as it does affect the overall capacity of the truck - too high, and while the truck can accommodate - it does not include passengers and stuff in the bed (etc.)

    I imagine it is going to be close to the max weight - without much margin for error (or capacity to tow up hills - which is where it will be felt most likely).

    need to know more about the trailer you are (have) already purchased...

    My guess is that it will be "close" to the max...will it do it - most likely...

    Just checked - the GVWR is 10,000 lbs...with a 870 hitch weight....

    if going just by GVWR - way too close to the max capacity of that vehicle...especially up grades. Might need helper / bags to manage the load (wont increase capacity - but manage the load) and definitely Weight distribution hitch...

    I'd get the trailer weighed as is...before anything goes in - get an idea of what you can actually load in to the trailer (stuff adds up fast - especially with 475 lbs of water capacity...) but that is a lot of potential capacity...not sure what is included in their "dry weight" - usually off by a fair amount.

    Loading capacity is 3400 lbs but we don’t travel with any water or any grey/black water we always camp with full hookups I have done the calls and it will be close to limits . Thanks for response.
