    I am new to Tundras.com.
    I have a 2014 Tundra Limited 4x4 with tow package. I recently bought a pull trailer toy haul with a GVWR of 9,999. The manual says that my Tundra is rated GVWR of 7,000, and the GCWR is 16,000.
    I will try to keep the GCWR under 16,000, and I have an equalizer weigh distribution system.
    I am good for 60 mph on highway and in no hurry to go over 6-7 grade mountains.
    This is my first experience with a Tundra and towing a trailer.
    Will my Tundra handle the weight safely?
    I appreciate any and all responses.
    Thank you in advance.
    John

    Welcome from NY.

    One of the pro's will chime in.
    I tow a open car trailer with a Camaro on it and don't even feel it behind me.

    With the higher weights, the pulling isn't the issue. Its the stopping/braking. Leave some room in front of you.

    Tongue weight is a key number also.
