    Towing Mirrors

    LOL, yeah, we've been paranoid about crushing the frame around the mirrors as well. I think you'll find the mirrors on the Tundra work well. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to have them out just a touch more, but I can use them without issue with our 23' AS.

    Towing Mirrors

    I know the OP has moved on to a Tunda (we have a 2024 Tundra that tows are 23 foot Airstream wonderfully - although we usually use the GX since I like a smaller vehicle once we're at our location - which also tows it well). However, I wanted to mention that we use these: MILENCO Dometic DM-2899...

I fill up between 160 and 200 miles, depending on how few and far between gas stations are. The gauge shows that you have less range than you really do. When I'm down to almost single...

    The New Lexus GX550 Struggles Towing 9,000 Pounds up The World’s Toughest Towing Test!

    All I know is that towing my airstream (probably around 5800~6000 loaded) my GX is beast. It really doesn't seem to care that it's back there at all.

    Brake Controller Question

    FWIW, we ran into this the first time we tried to pull our airstream. It seems that if it's under 4999# it doesn't want to use the controller. Set it to the next one 5000# and it'll work. Also, I was able to get the GX 500 to work with cruise control with the trailer - just not adaptive...
