Not surprisingly, the capability of the Gladiator depends on how you equip it. Which Gladiator configuration are you thinking about? Your first step should be obvious - go to the Jeep web site, check out the equipment options, and check out the towing specs for the various configurations. My quick check suggests that the bare bones Gladiator will tow 4000 pounds - not really adequate. By opting for an automatic instead of a manual transmission, the rating is increased to 4500 pounds, still not really adequate. The next step up gets you to 6500 pounds, which would be a great choice. You can go for an even higher rating, but there is no need.
You also might check out the tow rating of your specific Tundra and its equipment configuration. This would provide at least one basis of comparison.
Let us know what you find, and what you decide.
