I have a 2005 Tundra 4x4 DC 4.7 L with the TRD package. I just purchased a newly restored 1975 23' Prowler Trailer.

I have never towed anything before and will be taking this rig out to Burning Man this year. Do I have eneough truck for the job or am I exceeding my towing capacity?

Any insight would be extremely helpful.

Specs for the trailer:
Travel Trailers & Fifth Wheels
1975 PROWLER
FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES

M-23M

I used to towed a longer and heavier camper (Outback 25RS) with an 05 DC 4x2 without any problems. You should be fine. If you haven't already get a WDH and Sway bar.

ur good but check the owners manual for details on tow rating etc...always helpful to read that thing

but yes, get a WD hitch and sway control...oh and brake controller assuming that think has brakes...it better...
