Toyota Tundra 4.6 Towing Travel Trailer
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.
Toyota tundra 4.6 towing travel trailer. On the other hand the rest of the Toyota Tundras on this list are capable of hauling a little more weight. The 46 is no slouch if it makes you feel better i towed 1k with a 4 cyl Camry from CA to TX. 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.
My 24 ft travel trailer has a GVWR of 5300 lbs and I have no problem towing it anywhere with my 2014 Tundra SR5 46 liter engine. 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. The Toyota Tundra SR and SR5 are probably too small to tow the fifth wheel of any size.
Toyota does note in their online Tundra manual that for a trailer over 5K weight you should use a weight distribution system to spread the trailer. Even the lightest fifth wheels are about 7000 lbs. The 46 engine however simply hunts for gears all the time.
When it comes to towing and hauling capacity the 2020 Toyota Tundra takes the last spot in its class. Most travel trailers come with electric brakes. Especially when our first trip involved over 10000 miles cross country through mountains and flatlands through desert heat as well as 6 of snow.
Which is more than these little guys can handle. If you select a tow-package-equipped version then the truck would certainly be capable of towing a 6K travel trailer with room to spare. Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Can Still Surprise.
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. Trailers and is a MUCH tougher trunk than Toyota rates them at. 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.
