How long is that trailer? I just bought a 31BHDS which is 35ft long hitch to spare tire. How's it tow?

It's a ST29RL ... 29 feet of living space and 33 feet bumper to hitch. 5800 lbs empty and varies up to 7000 lbs loaded. I upgraded to this last year after owning a 24 foot Aerolite for 3 years.
The Tundra has absolutely no problem pulling it, but you have to watch your turns really closely. I smeared a Freightliner's nose last year, who was pulled way past the stopping line in his left turn lane, while I was making a left turn in front of him.
No serious damage to either, but it took $3000 in fiberglass and paint to fix. Expensive lesson!
Handles well on the highway with a Reese Dual Cam sway control / weight distribution system. The handling improved some more after I upgraded my truck tires to E class weight ratings. Pumping them up too near max pressure increases the towing stability immensely.
