New to this forum and the information on here has been really helpful so far. I am a toyota buff and hoping a first gen can pull my travel trailer.

I have a 2008 Mallard 26RLS with a dry weight of 5521, tongue weight of 800 which puts at a minimum of 6300 lbs. The total length of the trailer with tongue is 29'. The Tundra appears to have max towing capacity of 6700 lbs which puts me right to the max, once I add my weight and a small amount of cargo. I dont plan on filling my tanks and only have a one hour trip each way to tow a couple times a year.

I have done the math and it seems that I will be about 500 lbs over the towing limit, not counting the weight of the truck cap. Do you think this is ridiculous and should not be done - or considering my short travel distance - can I safely tow my trailer

What would you reccommend for a hitch and sway bar combo. Is there anything else I can use make this possible, such as airbags and electronic brakes for the trailer.

I really appreciate any comments or past experience towing this length and weight with a 4.7L Tundra. This will be my first truck purchase and the Mallard is my first trailer - so I am very new at this.
