Careful, folks. TM's position, clearly stated on their website, is that you DO need a weight-distributing hitch. It reads

"We recommend using a Class 3 hitch with load equalizing bars for most vehicles (not necessary on heavy trucks)."
I'm pretty sure that a Tundra does not count as a heavy truck.

TM has also added a nice section on "What does a loaded TM really weigh?". I imagine that was done in reponse to comments on this board, and I commend them for it. It goes well beyond the somewhat misleading specification of "dry weight", which is where so many manufacturers leave you.
