I’m afraid our calculations were incorrect as far as what it can tow. I’ve spent the last 2 hours researching online only to be more confused than before I started. My best estimate, we’re over by at least 1000lbs. We’re not leaving the driveway until we can get confirmation. Any input is welcomed and appreciated!!  |
There is an app for that. RV Tow Check. Download to your phone for $1.99. Follow the directions carefully, and it will tell you what you can tow. Just bought a 2017 Tundra/5.7/SR5. RV Tow Check says we can tow between 5,000 lb and 5750 lb GVWR trailer, depending on percent of the trailer that is tongue weight (in this case, 15% Tongue Wt means a 5,000 lb trailer, and 13% Tongue Wt means a 5,750 lb trailer). According to RVTW, the national average Tongue Wt is 12% of trailer GVWR.
Too many rigs out there that are overloaded and susceptible to being an accident. Good for you for wanting to be sure you all tow correctly.
