Tom, I have read many of your posting on towing and weights and everything. Maybe you can answer some questions I have. I bought the 2007 5.8L double cab tundra with the towing package. Supposed to tow 10,000 #. I recently bought a small utility tractor which is 3000# and a 14' dump trailer to haul it around in for some light construction jobs that I do on the side. The trailer empty weighs 3800#. I am new to towing and would like some suggestions on any additional setup I need. I got a reese brakeman brake controller and plan to install tomorrow. By my count the trailer and tractor would total about 7000# What type of reciever do I need and do they have ratings? Also if I just load material in the dump trailer, like gravel, how many pounds do you think I could load in the trailer and be safe. Should I be looking at a weight distributing hitch? Any other suggestions? New to the towing world with my Tundra - just don't want to cause any damage to the vehicle because of a lack of knowledge.
