Don I bought one of the first tundras back in '00. Kept it about 2 1/2 years it pulled open utility trailer fine but back then I had no idea of buying a toy hauler or travel trailer. I think those trucks were rated at around 7500 lbs if I'm not mistaken. The 4.7 is a good engine. I'm at about 7500 loaded with my current trailer and cargo. 5.7 tundras are rated at 10400 for my year model but the newer ones are 9000 which is due to a more accurate rating system in place now. So really my truck falls under that as well since it's identical to a new one on the spec sheet.
A larger toy hauler like I have might over work your truck I'd look smaller if it were me.
