I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra longbed with the 5.7l engine and towing package. It's 2wd and standard cab (if that matters). A friend has a 20' enclosed that I'm considering and it has electric brakes and a load leveling hitch. I live in the "mountains" of western North Carolina. Was wondering about opinions on pulling this trailer with a 2500# load.

You will work it hard, but it will work!
Get a diesel.
It will work even better with e-load rated tires on the Toyota. I pulled a 20' with a Tahoe. It was scarey sometimes when it started to cycle. The e-load rated tires helped, and anti-sway helps too.
I ended up buying a dually, don't regret it.

You shouldnt have an issue with towing the trailer.
Three of my buddies all haul 20' trailers to the track with new Tundra's. They absolutly love them. Plenty of power and they say it doesnt even feel like there is a trailer on the back.
You will enjoy your Tundra.
You can tow anything with anything. Speed of travel , however, can be an issue......:rolleyes:
Speed of stopping will be a bigger issue.... :rolleyes:Quote:
