See rv.net forums for lots of discussion about towing with various kinds of trucks. Do a search on "Tundra". I tow a 5,000 lb fifth wheel with my V8 Tundra and am happy with the way it pulls and merges into traffic. I can climb most hills on freeways at respectable speeds (50-55mph) without stressing the truck in 2nd gear at 3,000-3500rpm. As far as accelerating into traffic, you're not going to win any drag races pulling any heavy trailer with any truck. You just have to wait for bigger gaps in traffic before pulling out I don't care what kind of rig you have. At 6300-6500 lbs, though, you're taking the Tundra to its limits. Toyota's recommended GCWR for the truck is 11,800 lbs. Going too far over that won't do your truck any good.
