Default what size travel trailer are you towing

Just curious what size people are towing with the 07 tundra 5.7. I recently purchased a 32' travel trailer that has a dry weight of 7600lbs, my truck is a 07 tundra double cab 5.7 engine with tow package and 8' bed.

24ft gear box toy hauler. I'm pulling it with my 5.7 DC TRD 4x4. Fully loaded puts it arround 9,500 to 10,000lbs. The truck pulls it just fine.

some pretty impressive size trailers considering we are using 1/2 ton trucks. Not trying to be the weight police but has anyone ever thought maybe they were pushing their luck towing that much? Just curious as i have just purchased a bigger trailer, it towed fine coming home...i did notice the 2000lbs extra over my previous trailer.
andybudden....i know what you mean since we just purchased the new trailer my wife has been out of control, last night she bought wine glasses. Not sure what we will do with them as my beer comes in its own glass.

How many of you guys are running the air bags on the rear to help with the tongue weight of your bigger trailers?

Damn! You got me on weight, but mine is still longer .

I pull a 2007 VR1 (made by Keystone) BHS310. It is 33'10" and weighs about 8500# loaded. I have the 5.7L DC 6.5' bed. We just returned from a 2200 mile trip to Colorado from Reno. LOTS of elevation change and heights up to 9000'+...so much for gassers losing their power at high altitude!
Don't have any airbags. Do have the Equalizer hitch.

You should have no problem pulling your trailer, and should have little or no sway with the longbed. I have very little sway with the standard bed and Equalizer.

I'm towing mine w/ a 4X4 crewmax 5.7 .Do you have an anti-sway leveling kit? With the trailer on I can't even tell it is back their it dosn't sag at all. It feels very stable and the truck feels like it could pull much more. But were I am at we don't really have any elevation.
