We recently purchased a 2011 Toyota Tundra (Platinum Edition) with the towing package on it. I checked with Toyota and told it was rated to tow up to 10,000 lbs. We also purchased a 2008 Laredo 5th Wheel which is around 7800 lbs Dry Weight. The dealer told me we could add 1000 lbs to the towing weight since it's a 5th wheel, making the towing capacity 11,000 lbs. I've pulled the 5th wheel a couple of times (loaded and unloaded) and the Tundra handled it fine. Got 12-14 MPG towing it. Does anyone have any experience using the Toyota Tundra as their towing vehicle? I know they were initially rated higher by Toyota and then reduced a few years ago.
