2010 TUNDRA Crewmax Platinum ? towing capacity ?

[johnkappus]

I need to use my truck to tow my boat. The boat and trailer package weighs approx 10,000 lbs.

I am going to get a brake controller to run the electric brakes, but I am wondering about the towing capacity of the hitch.

Do i need to get a special hitch set-up? or can i just use the integrated hitch that's on there now?

i think i found the answer to my question!

Comprehensive Towing Package
An available Tow Package on all Tundra i-Force V8 models increases towing capacity significantly, up to 10,800 pounds, depending on the model and drivetrain (see specifications sheet). A one-piece towing receiver is integrated into the frame prior to bed installation. The structure runs nearly two feet down the length of the frame and attaches to each side around the rear spring shackles' cross-member with 12 bolts. Tow Package rear springs help provide level full-load rear suspension height and maintain full range of suspension travel. The Tundra can remain level even with 1,000 lbs. of tongue weight or payload."
