'05 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0408) Trailer towing Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger −and−load−carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cautious driving habits. For your safety and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. Ask your local Toyota dealer for further details before towing. We recommend you use a weight distributing hitch when towing to keep your vehicle level with the ground. WEIGHT LIMITS Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, gross combination weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits. The total trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with platform scales found at highway weighing stations, building supply companies, trucking companies, junk yards, etc. 2UZ−FE engine Two−wheel drive models Standard cab models Without towing package 2494 kg (5500 lb.)
