Not to beat a dead horse, but I previously stated you need more than a 1/2 ton truck, you have less with the Sequoia.
Just FYI that 10k towing capacity was arrived at in unrealistic conditions by the manufacturers in an attempt to one up the competition.
Also a 11-12 year old TT hasn't been anywhere near the dry weight for 11-12 years & along with the vehicle tow capacity means absolutely nothing to you.
That rv will/should have a minimum tongue weight of at 1100lbs (10% of the GVWR), with average tongue weight of 1400lbs (13% of the GVWR). Check the yellow/white tag on the drivers door jamb that states "occupants and cargo must not exceed XXXXlbs" that's the payload.
It may be able to "pull" that much weight but highly doubtful due to limited payload it can safely "carry" that much weight. If planning towing often with this setup buy the very best WDH with sway control on the market to help your towing experience.
That could possibly be a very memorable 5 hour drive with that much rv behind that type of vehicle.
Drive slow & be safe!
