Now, an SUV has a heavier body than the corresponding pickup model's box. So of course the Sequoia spec page says a 5.7L 4WD has a 1270# payload capacity (difference between GVWR & curb weight). That's a 25' FB SE (or CCD?). They photoshopped out the air conditioner, so saved some weight there.
Let's charitably assume 900# tongue weight with LP in the tanks, WD gear mounted and moderate loading inside the trailer. That's at least 120# of bicycles on top. Which leaves a grand total of 250# for all remaining load inside the tow vehicle. 4 bikes, 4 people. Cat? Bag o' chips? Bottled water & an iPod? There's no way that setup isn't 300# over spec'd TV GVWR. The Sequoia is a 1/2-ton vehicle -- only a few 1/2-tonners have the payload capacity to bear the newer, heavier 25-footers. Hensley or not that TV is overweight.

. A better match would have been a sport model which is much lighter. My double cab Tundra has 1600# of payload capacity when figured in with less people and less bikes, should come in under the limit. Since my 75 is much lighter, I have no issues. The new line of Toyota's are nice trucks with strong engines, but they are still 1/2 trucks and have limits.
