Towing Capacity Limits for a 2010 Toyota Tundra

Question:

I purchased a 2010 Toyota Tundra V8 extra cab 5.7 with a towing capacity 0f 10,300 lbs. I purchased a new forest river 5th wheel w your 15000 lb cap. hitch. The trailer weighs 7900 lbs and I estimate 1200lbs of gear.Thanks

Expert Reply:

As long as you stay under the 10,300 pound mark you should be fine. Currently your trailer and gear estimate would weigh 9,100 pounds.

Take a look at the rig when the trailer and truck are fully loaded as though you were ready to hit the road. If the Tundra is sagging in the rear, I would suggest using some sort of suspension enhancement system. They spread the load to to more springs so there is a total of 4 points on the axle that weight rides on.

Timbren makes hollow rubber springs that mount to the truck frame and assist the factory suspension system. They spread the load to keep the truck level, and when going over bumps in the road they keep the truck from bottoming out. I called Timbren and the springs for the 2009 Tundra will fit the 2010 models. You would use part # TTORTUN4.
