Welcome. Your Tundra will do quite well for towing a 2619 across even the highest/steepest passes in Colorado...though you will need to rev it up to around 4500 RPM in 2nd gear for most of the longer steeper climbs.
I've substantially modified my Tundra...not because it couldn't stay with traffic (at least 60 mph on all climbs) when towing my 2720SL (several hundred lbs more than a 2619)...but because I didn't want to have to use 2nd gear as much. I can now tow up all but the very steepest and highest grades in 3rd gear.
