Toyota Tundra 4.6 Towing Travel Trailer
I have friends that have Chevy Duramax and Ford F150 and while the Duramax is a 34 ton I would pit my Tundra against either one in the above mentioned weight range.
Toyota tundra 4.6 towing travel trailer. Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Can Still Surprise. The 46 engine however simply hunts for gears all the time. Towing our travel trailer with a 6 cylinder Toyota 4 Runner apparently isnt conventional RV wisdom.
On the other hand the rest of the Toyota Tundras on this list are capable of hauling a little more weight. If you are turning 4500 rpm in 3rd you have to actually be at like 70 mph in the Tundra with 410 rear end you must have been down in second for some reason or going faster than 55 I would think. Most travel trailers come with electric brakes.
In my experience the 46 can run up a 7 grade towing 6000 pounds in 3rd gear easily at 3500 rpm which is 55 mph. You will need to equip your Highlander with a 7-pin connector and a brake controller. Even the lightest fifth wheels are about 7000 lbs.
Use the drop downs to find a particular year trim or engine. Especially when our first trip involved over 10000 miles cross country through mountains and flatlands through desert heat as well as 6 of snow. We have provided a link to the source of each rating typically the owners manual.
The 57 Tundra is VERY capable of towing 6000 to 10000 lb. So lets get started. The OEM 4-pin connector only works with small utility trailers or boat trailers equipped with hydraulic surge brakes.
I have a 2005 Tundra TRD stepside 47 V8wVVT-i Engine great truck so far - I recently purchased a 30 travel trailer approx 6500 Gross. Im not on an expert in this subjectbut i do have some experience towing with a 46 2010 TundraI just got back from a 1300 mile road trip towing a 5500 lb travel trailer from Nevada to TexasFor the weight I was pulling the 46 was very capablethere were a few. 3k shouldnt be an issue for the 46 but as others have suggested a trailer brake is a good idea to avoid extra strain on the brakes.
