I have searched quite a bit on other sites about towing with a Tundra. I keep going back and forth between a diesel or a Tundra. Most of what I tow are cruisers on a car trailer, probably in the 7500-8000 range, but a camper is on the horizon. Frequency is varied, sometimes I will tow this amount 5-6 times/month, other times it's maybe once. I am not really concerned about mileage, it's pretty mute between diesel and gas prices.
So, is 7500-8000 too much for these? I know the tow cap is about 10K, +/- 500 lbs depending on the tundra model. I'd like to hear from people who ideally have towed/owned a diesel and a tundra with similar or larger loads. I know a cummins/F250 is apples to oranges but my main concern is tow-ability and safety. I want to leave enough safety margin and do not like to push the limits in this category.
