Just quickly looking , I would have to say yes, the GVWR is under 10 000lbs, you should safely pull it, that's my opinion.

You could do that safely IMO. The towing and payload numbers that Toyota gives for our trucks is VERY conservative IMO. With a rear end similar to a Dana 80 and a driveshaft thicker than my arm I'd say you'll be fine. Also a few members like Pullthis have pulled WAY over the max towing with their stock trucks and been fine. Pullthis actually is competing in pulling competitions where he pulls a 40k lb towing rig at wide open throttle for several hundred feet and he has not broken anything. I say go for it! Good luck.

IMO car companies always state a much lower tow capacity on there cars/trucks just to Cover there A$s. I think you have a minimum of 10-20% safely over there numbers... IMO only.

No it will be more like 9-10 mpg as it's not that tall or wide of a trialer .
