Thought i'd chime in an what appears to be an over-looked option in a towing rig....like maybe a 5/8 ton?
I felt like my 21 foot Arima pushed my Tundra around when driving to Uke or Port Hardy When I stepped up for a 24 foot Skagit Orca,the Orca hung with a DF300 definitely pushed the Tundra around....i felt unsafe doing Malahat
Two year ago I stepped up for a Nissan Titan XD....bigger foot print then the Tundra, more towing capacity, and definitely better brakes. I try and run the fuel off in the boat before towing but it's still about 8,000 lbs, maybe more when i've got all my crap in there for my three week summer trips. The Titan XD handles the load very well although fuel economy (it's a gasser) is pretty bad...but that's the price you pay for safe towing with the proper rig. It also handles my 8 1/2 ft Northern Lite camper way better then the Tundra....it has a 2,000 lb payroll, a few hundred lbs better then the Tundra
