RE: 2011 Tundra reduced max tow capacity, options?
Your Tundra can't be more than 8100 Lb all up including you and anything else loaded in and on it including hitch weight. Nor can you go over individual axle ratings. Load it op with passengers and anything else you plan on hawing in it take to scales and weigh it. Know you know what you have left for pin weight, allow yourself a little leeway and remember this is not dry pin but total including weight destribeting and sway bars. I hope this helps it is not a 100 Procent accurate as som weight gets transferred to front axle of tow wehicles and som to trailer axles so better to be a little light than to heavy
RE: Now this is camping , off road with a tt
This is equipment supplied by sponsors,as you can se a film Crüe and backup wehicles and more than a dosen peaple. that trailer is about $100000. It is considered bad maners to drag a TTop that trach and diging it op as you are getting bogged is why more and more pleases are being made of limit to general public.
RE: Opinions wanted.
The problem is that som people hawe not figured out that ther are no 1/2 ton trucks ETC. Ther are 150 250 and 350. My F250 extrecab 4+4 8' bed has over 3000lb payload.
RE: Opinions wanted.
Greg go to manufactures site or wisit dealers and look at yellow door sticker for payload and in hand book for how much it is allowed to tow trailer or FW.
RE: depreciation of travel trailer
Flasteve it is nice to hear that som people also consider others,and you are right in saying to pay a fair prize but also do not be taken advantage off.
