    Thanks for the add.

    I tow a 2014 Escape 5th Wheel. Its 'wet' weight is 4500 lbs, and it's pin weight is 630 lbs. I currently have a Silverado that is old. So it's time for a new truck.

    I haven't bought a 2022 Tundra yet but I am visiting the dealer on Saturday.
    They don't have one but will order me one without any purchase obligation.

    The payload will be the deciding factor, and if it passes that measure, then the comfort of the seats. If they only have about 1300 pounds payload then it'd be very tight.

    I know of a few people that tow the same trailer with 2nd Generation Tundras and are quite happy.

    Any Tundra drivers towing an Escape 5th Wheel, that can share their thoughts on towing, hitch brand, or other bits of wisdom?
