If I needed a truck to pull a 5th wheel, I wouldn't consider any of the 1/2 tons. Am I wrong about this?

It seems there are a lot of people who share your opinion, and a lot that don't. My own limited experience (at least) gives me complete confidence in the Tundras ability to pull the heavy load. It really does have the power. I had one feedback that makes sense concering my experience: perhaps I didn't put enough pressure in the airbags, and the trailer was kind of porpoising (sp?). Which would match the the sensation I was experiencing. I'll have to adjust the pressure up next time I tow to see if that smooths out the ride. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
