Default 5th Wheel Towing with Tundra?

I have a 28' 5th Wheel Cruiser which dry weight is 7271 and GVWR is 11835 . Will the Tundra pull it with ease? I am pulling with a F-250 at present, which pulls fine, but I just don't like the truck. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like the Land Roamer 285RK comes close to those specs.

Cruiser Rv : Land Roamer Fifth Wheel

The dry pin weight is listed as 1895 lbs. That will far exceed the cargo capacity of any of the new Tundras (or any 1/2 ton pickup), especially after you put a 200 lbs 5er hitch in the bed. So, nope, I'd stick with your current truck. Have you driven a new GMC Sierra 2500HD Durmax/Allison? Nice trucks.

I sort of figured that was the case with the Tundra. Thanks for the advice on what truck to look for.
