Gooseneck Dump trailer towing a bad idea?

Through my family I have access to the below pictured Gooseneck Dump trailer. I'm in the market for a Tundra. Do you think a 5.7 tow package Tundra can tow this trailer within it's rated capacity?

Trailer contents will be construction debris, tree limbs, yard waste, mulch, and top soil. I don't plan to load this trailer full. It's large, 16 foot box length. It's an old grain trailer with hydraulic dump. It would be nice to have the option to use a Tundra with this trailer occasionally versus borrowing a 3/4 ton diesel from a family member everytime I want to use it. And I don't really want to purchase a 3/4 ton myself due to increased cost and overall size. I'm a current Tacoma owner and really enjoy it but I recently purchased an acreage and need some more truck capability. Thanks in advance.

 

Trailer weight?

 

General rule: If it's a gooseneck or 5th wheel the pin weight is usually really close to the Tundra's payload ratings.
That's a general rule because there are a few exceptions, but without actual ratings on a SPECIFIC truck and that trailer it's impossible to say with 100% certainty.

You will run out of payload way before you get near the max towing capacity on just about every 1/2 ton truck. You need to find out what your payload rating is, and what that pin weight is.

 

That is going to be very heavy. You can get a 3/4 or 1 ton gasser for the same price as a tundra. I made the switch to a 1 ton gasser back in April. Paid the same price as my Crewmax SR5 tundra

 

I would bet a fully loaded trailer is way more than the Tundra can handle. Go with a 3/4 or 1 ton. I switched to an F-250, 3120 LB payload which is 2.5X the Tundra.

 

Thanks for the prompt and detailed replies.

Except for this guy... Always one in every group...

Gooseneck = 3/4 ton, maybe I can find a regular cab for a good deal.

 

I’m not sure your price point but GMC 3500 SLE (same as SR5) crew cab for $46k. Regular cabs in my area are going for $41k

 

Itll pull the space shuttle right? So gooseneck should be easy!

 

A little off topic but what keeps a gooseneck from swaying, and obviously you can’t use weight distribution…is the stability of the trailer and load caused simply by proper loading?

 

These trucks are great at almost everything, except towing. If you're doing real deal towing, go get a diesel or gasser HD. Tundra just doesnt cut it, and even if it does, the gas mileage is horrendous.
