The V-8 Tundra doesn't really have a 7200# towing capacity. I know, that's what they publish, but they also publish the GCWR of 11,800#. That's the max allowed weight of the combined loaded truck and loaded trailer. Only if you have a stripper truck, no passengers or personal gear, and a skinny driver will you get to the 7200# tow without exceeding the GCWR. And, it's never wise to operate any machinery at 100%.
A 5000# boat & trailer is an easier tow than a 5000# travel trailer...usually less windage.
