Default Another towing question, Big boat!

I know there are a ton of towing posts so please forgive me....

I have a 24.5 ft bayliner cruiser, 5,600 lbs dry, add trailer (dual axle, surge brakes) fuel, gear etc and its probably about 7 to 7,200 lbs. I just sold my Chevy crew cab duramax diesel, 13,000 lb tow capacity that pulled the boat like it wasnt even there.

I'm looking at a Tundra or Sequoia, 02 to 05, i really want the seq for various reasons.

I only tow the boat to nearby lake 20 mins away on summer weekends and to the river 1 hr away 2 or 3 times a year. If i get the sequoia i plan on finding one with tow package for the oil cooler, adding air bag rear susp. tranny temp gauge, equalizer hitch.

Realising i'm above the reccomended tow capacity, it sounds like the Sequoia can handle it from what i've read, and my relatively short trips, does anyone have any advice or further reccomendations?

Thanks!

Pete
