Which configuration hits the maximum?

The 10,800 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 5.7L V8, Regular Cab, Long Bed bed, 2WD, 6-speed automatic.

What tongue weight should I plan for a 2007 Tundra?

At the cited 10,800 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 1,080 lb of tongue weight.

Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase

The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.

An illustrative 10 percent of the 10,800 lb conventional maximum is 1,080 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

What was different in 2007

First year of the larger second-generation Tundra.

Generation

Second generation

2007 is year 1 of this generation (2007–2021). Full-size redesign for 2007. The 5.7L V8 defined towing for most of this long generation and was retired at the end of it.

2007 towing by engine

Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 31 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.

Engine	Conventional	Chart rows
5.7L V8	10,100–10,800 lb	14
4.7L V8	7,700–8,500 lb	14
4.0L V6	4,800–5,100 lb	3
