Re: towing horse trailer with tundra
Hey YAY! I don't tow horses, but I do tow a 16' enclosed trailer filled with motorcycles. I've gone from Seattle, WA to Monterey, CA in 36 hours with 7200 pounds of bikes and trailer hooked to a load balancing class 3 hitch, and another 700 pounds of motorcycles in the bed of the truck. The truck pulled fabulously through the Siskayous (sp?) and had no trouble with steep grades. It would hold 50+ mph in 2nd gear, but was turning higher revs than I liked. But when I'm towing 6000 pounds or less, the truck will pull nicely in whatever gear it wants to be in. I think it tows great. If you ever plan on towing closer to the 10K mark, I'd suggest going for a 3/4 ton truck though.
