I picked up an airstream a couple weeks ago. Screaming deal. Weighs in around 5,000 lbs dry.
So far I have towed it with my Tundra, easy peasy with the 5.7. Even got 11 MPG round trip to Pueblo and back.
However, I hate driving my Tundra and would like a more nimble rig to drive around when the camper is parked.
Curious if anyone has pulled this much weight with the GX (non VVTi) and just how awful is it? Is it worth spending cash on a class 4 hitch and brake controller? Or should I forego this fantasy altogether? The Tundra is no slouch off road, just too damn big... If I could have one vehicle it would be a 200 series but need a real truck for work.
