Hi - new to this forum - hope you can help. I just bought a 2012 (new) Tundra with the 5.7 V8, TRD off road package. I plan to use this vehicle to tow a horse trailer.
I have always heard that a Gooseneck trailer is much easier on the truck than a BP as it puts the tongue weight over the axle. My gooseneck trailer is 4500# empty-(not sure of the tongue weight).
I hate the thought of cutting a hole in the bed of my brand new truck. If I switch to a BP trailer would I be putting added strain on my truck? Or can these new trucks handle the BP as easily as it can handle a GN? Thanks for any help here!
