Default 1st GEN Tundra - what do you tow with it

Thanks

So far a U-Haul trailer, jet ski and hauled a dirt bike.
98% grocery getter and commuter vehicle.
Soft suspension seems made for it.
Fuel mileage seems not though.

We pull a 31' TT, loaded weight around 5600lbs. It does a good job pulling it. There is a pic in my photos if you want to take a look.

Default Re: 1st GEN Tundra - what do you tow with it

Mostly my 20' boat, about 4500 lbs. total. Towed several other things also, including a 6' x 12' Uhaul from CA to MI over I-70 in CO (11,000 ft.), but the heaviest was when I helped a friend move. We packed a 29' enclosed snowmobile trailer full, and it was WAY heavier than my boat. The Big T handled it with no problem!

Wow did the front tires stay on the ground ? I had about 1700 lbs of sand in the back. I was hitting the bump stops with any dip in the road. With 3200 lbs of concrete you must have been sitting on the bump stops.

Default Re: 1st GEN Tundra - what do you tow with it

I tow a TT that hits the scales loaded at 5200lbs. I have weight dist. bars and a stabilizer. With the OD off I set the cruise at 68 and go right over the mountain pass. My friend has a 2002 1500 Ram 5.9L pulling less weight and he cant keep up with me over the pass. That p*sses him off but it really gets him when we get to the gas pump and he has burned more fuel than me. I always tell don't worry about my lil jap rig it isn't a serious truck I will just wait for you at the top of the hill.
