    Not new to the forums or my 2020 Tundra per say, but I'm new to towing. I just picked up a 2020 Toro 6x10 V-nose enclosed for a detailing side hustle.

    I've gone through the forums and everything seems severely geared towards heavy tows.

    Wondering for someone in my situation where I MAY be hauling 1500 lbs in the trailer with a full 100 gal water tank (900 of that is the tank roughly when full), is there anything I really need to pickup? Seems to me my gross load is way under what a lot of folks here are towing. For now it's more like 300 lbs until I find a tank that fits my needs and storage options for all my gear.

    Truck does great. Sixty mile to and from trip to a job. Gas mileage was garbage but that doesnt bother me at all. Tow haul in S6 on flats, S4 for grades.

    My truck's setup is a 3/1 suspension (Radflo 2.5s up front with rear Toytec Boss's w/ reservoirs and adjustable shackles). No rear sway bar. Running E rated 35x12.5r18 Nitto Trails (if any of this matters). I'm cranking the front coilovers up 1/4" and setting the rear shackle to 1.5" next week when I install the below mentioned items and some Solid Offroad motor mounts.

    Also, more notably, I will have front and rear SS Built high clearance prerunner bumpers at my door next week to install. Going to need a drop hitch based off of how high the hitch receiver is relocated to. Suggestions?

    Thanks folks. PFA.

    Hey @Ckatz53 how did those Solid Offroad motor mounts feel once installed, any noticeable difference? I was looking at getting a set. Didn't realize they were soo much....:spending:

    Still uninstalled unfortunately. I work fulltime and own a business so I'm absolutely slammed with 0 downtime. I JUST put my rear SS Built bumper on lol. Still have the front and the motor mounts, as well as adjusting my suspension. When I'll have the time I'll never know. They're definitely stout though.

    Totally understand, thanks for the reply. Look forward to hearing how you like them once installed.
