We've towed our boat since the truck was new but it is only about 3000 lbs (and you knew it was back there) So that's why I'm wondering what an additional 1000 lbs or so would do to it. Toyota does make a supercharger for it which could be an option. Anyway just thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone has tried it.
Thanks, Alan

5000/500 is plenty to pull many new and vintage Airstream trailers.
Bambi, Caravel, Safari, Tradewind just about anything under 22' should be light enough for your rig. We have a Minuet and it only weighs 2600lbs dry.
Lots of options, and Welcome.
