You know 9000 pounds wouldn't be my concern considering he said his truck is rated for 10100 which I know some are mine isn't. But that camper sticking out 35 feet behind a half ton truck. That would scare me more than anything with wind or a turn gone wrong could turn that truck into a whip. With the right WDH hitch and loading properly and a little patience I'm sure it's manageable but could get a little scary at times.

That is where the misconception is. I am within 100 some odd pounds of the Tundra's GVWR with a 6900 lb trailer. He is going to be over on his and frankly runs the risk of being over his RAWR as well. The payload capacity is way too low on these trucks.

This we can agree on. Truthfully I am not the weight police. I only try to help educate people. Their decision is just that, their decision. I love my Tundra. If it was beefier and had a diesel option, I wouldn't be looking for another truck so mama can get her bigger camper.

Haha I am not to the bigger camper stage just yet. Our toy hauler is only a year old and me and mama love it. But once we have a little one running around I hope she doesn't get the same idea of thinking we need something bigger. I will just keep my fingers crossed

I don't see the relevance of (1 to 3)hrs? With the wrong setup a few feet can be a disaster! Youroo!!
