Now a Tundra should be reasonably good for an older 23-footer. I really wonder how the tow vehicle's GVWR and GAWR figure into a 25' Classic's tongue weight?

The Tundra Crew Cab does an outstanding job towing the 25' Classic. I realize I'm pretty close to my GCWR but damn it feels good when I'm going down the road. The Crew Cab's extended wheel base (140.5"), along with the 2005 model years increase in torque (313) & horsepower(271), combined with Toyota's 3:92.1 differential really make for a smooth ride.
Now I love a good argument as much as the next guy so here goes......
Although the Tundra's towing capacity is lower than the Titan's I'm not sure why you are calling it less than a half ton truck and stating that the Titan has higher payload capacity by calling it a "full half-ton" and the Tundra a "7/8ths x 1/2 ton =??". The Tundra Crew Cab is larger than the Titan Crew Cab and also has a higher payload capacity. See my listed dimensions below.
The Tundra Crew Cab's payload capacity is 1,800 - 1,835 lbs depending on trim vs. the Titan Crew Cab's payload capacity of 1,325 - 1,529 depending on trim line.
The Tundra Crew Cab's wheel base is 140.5" vs. the Titan Crew Cab's 139.8".
The Tundra Crew Cab's overall length is 230.1" vs. the Titan Crew Cab's 224.2" length.
The Tundra Crew Cabs width is 79.7 vs. the Titan Crew Cabs 78.8" width.
