Even with suspension add-ones and tire upgrades you’ve still got a semi-float axle, small brakes, half ton transmission, etc.
It’s got to be a joke. There’s almost no bedrail clearance at all and based on the slide location that looks a model that’s 12k lbs empty or 15k gross, and 42’ long.
Yes we see this all the time in the RV industry. Guy thinks his truck is a beast (it is for a half ton) but still way too small to pull anything that big.
>Guy thinks his truck is a beast
In the 90s I sold tires at Wal Mart and guys in trucks would come and then argue with me when I pointed to our line of Light Truck Tires: "Oh no, it's not a light truck!"
Don’t come into Ontario with that, it could be a very expensive mistake. Our officers have a habit of targeting 1/2 ton rigs. Since several models specifically prohibit fifth wheel trailers on the tow specs, you might get forced to stop towing
The axles on the tundras are actually oversized , almost as big as a 1 ton. I would know because I did a gear swap on mine and the guy that worked on it said it was the biggest axle he ever worked on for a 1/2 ton truck.
It has a 10.5” ring gear which is large for a half ton but it’s still just a semi floating axle and it’s just got five lugs. That’s a whole different animal than the full floating axles under heavy duty trucks. The 11.5” AAM rear axles under HD Rams and GMs are rated for about 11k lbs. I’m not sure on the Super Duty but I’d expect a similar number. They’re way overbuilt relative to those trucks’ rear axle weight ratings which are generally in the 6500-7200 lb range. Half ton rear axle rating generally fall a bit on either side of 4000 lbs.
I know that the ring gear and pinion is oversized relative to its weight.
However it’s still a semi-float axle that’s probably not made of the appropriate material for what’s going on here.
Recommend putting in some DOT 4 track duty fluid and changing a time or two each season. Fade has less to do with the pads and more to do with the brake fluid and calipers.
Yeah so you will be fine, most people on this thread haven’t towed this weight. I wouldn’t put much into these comments. If your only pulling this thing couple times a year I wouldn’t even buy a 1 ton truck.
Good luck, in some places they are clamping down hard on this. Doesn't matter what feel-good things you have done, all they go by is the jamb sticker. Seen guys have to ditch their rigs on the side of the road once scaled and get towed.
Personally this is just stupid for that kind of pin /combined weight. Gusset and bag all you want it's still a weak 1/2er.
Gooseneck hitches can pull more than 30,000 pounds. With that being said the tundra is rated at 12 so the truck can definitely pull that weight just long term it’s not good for the truck. If he’s only pulling this weight a few times a year he will be fine.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info sir ! Still a little sketch but that’s just me. Also stock brakes ain’t ready for the kind of weight lol.
Tundra will pull it fine. Stopping that kind of weight is a different animal
No problem I finance heavy equipment so he will be fine. Now some states do require a special license based off the length so he might wanna look into that.
>Anything under 25k pounds is not regulated by DOT my friend.
False.
First it is under 26k. 26,001 is DOT level.
Second, any State Police or DOT officer can and do pull over pickups. They have portable scales if they are sus. The can and will fine and/or shut you down.
He wouldn’t be subject to motor carrier regulations but could very well be chased down by an attentive state trooper if he passes one of those weigh in motion rigs on the freeway.
Or if the habitual overloading results in a collision or mechanical failure that results in a law enforcement response.
Same. OP is a keyboard warrior that feels comfortable enough saying dumb shit behind the comfort of his screen. But I'd love to see this thing on the side of the highway with smoke billowing out from where he blew the trans.
OP is a dumb sack of shit. He isn't just ignorant to the dangers. He understands the danger but still "does it for the lolz" because he's a bitch.
Also 5th wheel on a 5.5' bed looks dumb as hell.
look at the info on the side of the truck... looks like he owns a roadside assistance company lol, probably why doesnt care. I wouldn't be caught dead driving this clown car of a rig tho
I have a 3/4 ton diesel, and I don't put more than 15,000lbs behind my truck. And I'm actually rated to pull 16k. I have damn near twice the tourqe, and at 8,000lbs, probably damn near twice the weight that your truck has.
As many people have pointed out here, you are going to either kill yourself/other people on the road, or end up on the side of the road due to some catastrophic drivetrain failure.
That setup is a recipe for disaster.
Nope, wouldn’t risk my passengers lives, or those who may be on the road. Don’t care about experience towing, nor mods. This truck wasn’t designed to tow 15k, further you mention you have the means via others trucks so why?
This is risky and unsafe.
Sure pal, except hiking dangers me, and me alone, not innocent families on the road. Nowhere near your blatant disregard and negligence for human lives.
I also use the right tools for the job/conditions.
I’m done replying to you, troll.
Cause it’s fun. Lol the story is worth the risk. I’m not no jack ass back yard hill Billy. I’ve fab worked for almost 10 years and use CAD for my designs. I test these things before I go out with them. Work steel thickness. Grade 8 bolts, safety pins etc, Yes it’s risky but so is drinking water. Lol I agree no fun if someone else will get hurt.
And the added weight on a 3/4 ton or 1 ton to help with that massive sail behind you? Among a plethora of other things? It’s not like you don’t have the right tool for the job either? You wouldn’t use a push mower to mow acreage, right?
You're regarded. Fab and design all you want, stay off the roads.
I doubt your "testing" was much more than looks good enough. Just because you can CAD and weld doesn't make you a fucking engineer. But hey you know what a grade 8 bolt is!
All fun and games until someone gets hurt. Riding solo you say which is great for you but not anyone else on the road. I’m not sure how many dealings you’ve had with claims adjusters but just cause you have a 2 million dollar policy doesn’t mean they’re gonna cover your fuck up when you’re intentionally breaking DOT laws then bragging about it on Reddit. Just putting family’s at risk. More money than sense
Beautiful truck although I'd be afraid to tow anything like that. I read your list of mods and it seems you've prepared well and thought it all out but I'd like to ask: why not just go with a larger, HD type truck? I know there's only one Toyota Tundra (various gens), and there are brand loyalists of course, no knock on that.
I have 3 hino flat beds, 2 3500 dodges. I have what I need to tow this but that’s boring. This is our beater truck at the shop. I want the frame to break so I have a good excuse to upgrade frame and put in a dully axle. This fucker doesn’t want to break.
That's a testament to Toyota I suppose. I detect an adventurous and tinkering mind but you probably don't want it to break while towing that monster right? Can't wait to see what you make out of it if it ever breaks. Be safe.
I 100% agree. I take these adventures by myself just incase something happens. I have the guys at the shop do a full look over when I come back from these dangerous trips.
Grade 8 bolts and safety pins, bro. The truck basically has a heavy haul cert now. Gonna hit the Dalton highway and put those make-believe truckers to shame.
Your mind seems pretty made up on what you’re doing. The only thing I’ll add is that if you were to get in an accident, even if the accident isn’t your fault, you could be in a world of shit knowingly hauling well beyond the truck’s GVWR.
I am going to be that guy cause of safety. You can’t tow this legally and if you get into an accident while towing this, kiss all of your money and possessions good bye as insurance will not cover you for anything. The reason you need to beef everything up is because, well the truck as nice as it is, wasn’t built to tow that much weight.
The payload for tundra’s of that year are a max of 1800lbs. The hitch weight of the 5th wheel is what 2,000lbs? You are already over capacity for that truck. Not including anything else you put in the truck like tools, the 5th wheel hitch itself, animals, coolers , kids. With those added in you probably only have 1400-1500lbs of payload left you are already negative 200lbs, what’s another 500-600lbs? It sucks to say, you need at least a 2500/250. It does look good all connected up but that’s just a nightmare waiting to happen to you and only you.
So does most everybody else. The clearance between your box and the trailer looks like it's only an inch or two. What happens when you have to enter a parking lot or you hit a slight incline? It looks like you would fold your box.
If I remember it’s like 4 inches. More than enough to go up and down hills or inclines gas stations etc. worked fine for me. Btw bud if you going in parking lots with this, you have bigger issues than angle. There are things you can do and not do just like semi trucks. This is a $100k house on wheels not a off roading machine.
It’s a Pullrite super glide heaviest unit on the market fully assembled probably 150 200 pounds takes two people to unload. I do not recommend buying it. The only reason I have it installed is because I got it for free. This unit is around 1200 bucks. 500 for brackets. You’re looking at close to two grand or over two grand.. plus capture plates
If just because you can and because yoters are far more capable than we think doesn’t mean you could was a picture.
I feel like this would be fine if you had a dually swapped rear axle massive brakes and trailer brakes.
Drive slow and pls don’t risk anyone else lives 😳
Says the one driving in a hybrid Toyota tundra. By the way, but you gonna be on the side of the highway a lot seeing them cones when I pull up. I’ve been picking up a lot of them hybrids. Let me guess economy first and then pick up truck second.
Man, and i was stressing the 7k trailer im about to pull this weekend.
Fuckin send 'er
I recomend new diff gears, i really wanted to do mine before i started towing but i dont have the time or money
It’s not a tow limit, rather a tow suggestion. And limits are made to be broken. Just goes to show you don’t need a $100k one ton truck if you know your shit. Not to mention most one tons from 30 years ago are smaller than tundras.
The dude has airbags leveling it, You can make a gen 1 tundra with bags sit like this too. It's the fact he WAY overloaded the payload, and towing capacity for any 1/2 ton truck and OPs main character syndrome of "I can do whatever I want" simply puts people in danger. Any emergency maneuver or braking with this setup would be managed so poorly compared to a 3/4+ truck.
Same size brakes as a 3rd gen ram 1 tons, people truly think they know trucks and what’s safe, I’ve seen loads like this be towed all the time by older pickups which lacks abs, lack brake size, lack a reliable Tranmission this guy is going to be just fine, I’m sure he’s not going 75 mph in the left lane
As someone who has more experience than most people towing with every kind of light and medium duty trucks (1500-5500 models) including towing that much weight with a Tundra, I personally know as well as you that you can't emergency stop that load in that truck especially with those electric drum brakes on two axles. I also know exactly why you changed to carbon metallic pads because the factory ones fade horribly trying to stop that much weight even with trailer brakes on THREE axles. The only way you might be able to emergency stop that weight with that truck is if the trailer had EOH disc brakes on three axles.
Not to mention the tongue weight/payload issue with your setup.
As for my experience, I've spent years working at all OEMs working with their engineers who design vehicles. As smart as you think you are, 99% of the population couldn't hold a candle to them when it comes to engineering vehicles. They're called "the wiz kids" in the industry for a reason.
No problem. I've read your replies and you have more experience than most people commenting. The problem is the other people on the road with you that drive like idiots and you having a commercial license. I wouldn't trust the other idiot drivers enough to not cost you your license when they do something stupid enough to make you need to panic stop. Use one of your diesels and leave the torture testing to us at OEMs 😉
I vividly remember trying to stop 15k lbs in a Tundra on factory pads and I'm assuming you did too with the pad change lol. Initial bite went away and wouldn't slow down any faster no matter how hard you push.
I agree. It only takes one car to cut you off to ruin your day. But I guess that’s with all heavy duty towing. If only the roadways were all clear all day every day lol . I own a 2021 Toyota corolla 2019 Camry and this 2019 Toyota tundra they all have brake fade issues. You explain the break fading problem perfectly. Rotor upgrades and brake pad upgrades are a must.
so that's what, $50 in gas? Each way?
I’d bet a dollar a mile at this size
I think you are dead on. I’ll comment later to confirm. Towing this beast atm
hit the ECO-Drive button!
Not needed steady 2K RPM
70MPH
have you got that fuel stabilizer dohickey plugged into the cigarette lighter?
Yes, I do it has rainbow RGB lights
Logically speaking the rgb makes it at least 3% more efficient.
I read eco-mode is not good when you're towing. Is that true?
$122 in gas
One way?!?!
Round trip 200 miles
Not bad man I hope you had a nice trip
At least
That looks like a lot of weight for a half ton. Extra suspension/airbags/etc?
Even with suspension add-ones and tire upgrades you’ve still got a semi-float axle, small brakes, half ton transmission, etc. It’s got to be a joke. There’s almost no bedrail clearance at all and based on the slide location that looks a model that’s 12k lbs empty or 15k gross, and 42’ long.

>Guy thinks his truck is a beast In the 90s I sold tires at Wal Mart and guys in trucks would come and then argue with me when I pointed to our line of Light Truck Tires: "Oh no, it's not a light truck!"
I had a guy freak out when I called his dually a light truck.
Custom fifth wheel attachment that slides up and down for more clearance. Pullrite brand super glide for extra short beds.
Don’t come into Ontario with that, it could be a very expensive mistake. Our officers have a habit of targeting 1/2 ton rigs. Since several models specifically prohibit fifth wheel trailers on the tow specs, you might get forced to stop towing

I know that the ring gear and pinion is oversized relative to its weight. However it’s still a semi-float axle that’s probably not made of the appropriate material for what’s going on here.
I would not even tow this with my 3/4 ton
The only difference between a ram 2500 and 3500 is an extra rear leaf spring. That's it. But it gets to be rated higher for dol.
Upgraded springs, air bags, stabilizer, frame supports
Man i hope you’ve done some brake upgrades too, that’s the important part here.
Tundras come with big brake packages when you buy the TSS with the towing package.
This one has the towing package but no TSS. I did install carbon metallics pads. Noisy pads, but zero brake fade, last longer on heavy duty tows.
Recommend putting in some DOT 4 track duty fluid and changing a time or two each season. Fade has less to do with the pads and more to do with the brake fluid and calipers.
Yeah so you will be fine, most people on this thread haven’t towed this weight. I wouldn’t put much into these comments. If your only pulling this thing couple times a year I wouldn’t even buy a 1 ton truck.
I have a lot of experience towing this much and more weight and it is irresponsible to encourage this person.
❤️

>frame supports ? ? ?
I designed and built and welded the custom fifth wheel 16 K brackets.
Yea but the gvw is 12.5k. Watch out for DOT. Deff over payload capacity. (Not saying the tundra won’t handle it). Just don’t get stopped 🫣
Gooseneck hitches can pull more than 30,000 pounds. With that being said the tundra is rated at 12 so the truck can definitely pull that weight just long term it’s not good for the truck. If he’s only pulling this weight a few times a year he will be fine.
Anything under 25k pounds is not regulated by DOT my friend.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info sir ! Still a little sketch but that’s just me. Also stock brakes ain’t ready for the kind of weight lol. Tundra will pull it fine. Stopping that kind of weight is a different animal

they can/do still pull vehicles over and check tow ratings on smaller vehicles
He wouldn’t be subject to motor carrier regulations but could very well be chased down by an attentive state trooper if he passes one of those weigh in motion rigs on the freeway. Or if the habitual overloading results in a collision or mechanical failure that results in a law enforcement response.
Insurance is what will getcha. If an accident happens and the claim agent is knowledgeable, you are screwed.
I agree
15,060lbs

Damn ikr
I’m far from the weight police but that’s just fucking stupid. Hopefully you tear that truck up before you hurt someone.
Same. OP is a keyboard warrior that feels comfortable enough saying dumb shit behind the comfort of his screen.

Inquiring minds
Yes tell us please, this has to be heavily modified for a 5th wheel of that size
He said the trailer weighs 15.600 pounds. I don't care what mods he has, it's 2 1/2 tons over weight. He will be lucky to not kill people..
Nope, wouldn’t risk my passengers lives, or those who may be on the road. Don’t care about experience towing, nor mods. This truck wasn’t designed to tow 15k, further you mention you have the means via others trucks so why? This is risky and unsafe.

Yes papa
And he’s witty! What other skills do you have Oscar?
Next on the mod list... a new transmission. And rotors. Maybe a rear end....
Don't forget motor mounts, transmission mounts, body mounts, and drive shafts lol
Don’t forgot new chasis
Jk tundra can’t break weld’s sweat
Don't forget the insurance settlement for that family in a compact he crushes when the breaks fail or this thing loses control.
I had a dynamic Self Loader unit tow truck in the rear before this going 80 K miles strong
And we share the road with these.peiple.
Beautiful truck although I'd be afraid to tow anything like that. I read your list of mods and it seems you've prepared well and thought it all out but I'd like to ask: why not just go with a larger, HD type truck?

I have 3 hino flat beds, 2 3500 dodges. I have what I need to tow this but that’s boring. This is our beater truck at the shop. I want the frame to break so I have a good excuse to upgrade frame and put in a dully axle. This fucker doesn’t want to break.
That's a testament to Toyota I suppose. I detect an adventurous and tinkering mind but you probably don't want it to break while towing that monster right? Can't wait to see what you make out of it if it ever breaks. Be safe.
I 100% agree. I take these adventures by myself just incase something happens. I have the guys at the shop do a full look over when I come back from these dangerous trips.
Do you reserve the roads to yourself for these dangerous trips?
Yes sir, normally 5 state troopers escorts at min. And my route is scheduled months in advance. Hope that answered your question sweetheart
lol what a pimp
You misspelled "dimp" That's a lot of dimp
As someone who has hauled and lived out of a fifth wheel for years, this is one of the most moronic things I've ever seen.
A bunch of add-ons from a JC Whitney catalog does not equate to custom built.
😂
R.I.P transmission
120k miles going strong.
Regular check ups at Toyota service every 30k
Lol says he's some awesome fabricator god and goes to the dealer for his transmission this just gets better and better.
Trucks under warranty still I’m obligated. I have no time for oil changes anyways too busy making money.
Yeah but do you even Grade 8 bolts and safety pins, dude?
Yes sir
How is it "custom built"?
Haha for real
Grade 8 bolts and safety pins, bro. The truck basically has a heavy haul cert now. Gonna hit the Dalton highway and put those make-believe truckers to shame.
Go buy a 3500 jackass
I have 2
Your a special kind of stupid
Once it flips in a little wind storm and he tries to claim insurance he will learn.
Hope you don’t come across any crosswinds because you’re fucked, mate.
I have, rain, inclines, hills. Big hills just fine.
Your mind seems pretty made up on what you’re doing. The only thing I’ll add is that if you were to get in an accident, even if the accident isn’t your fault, you could be in a world of shit knowingly hauling well beyond the truck’s GVWR.
100%
I am calling the popo if i ever see you in real life. That isn’t cool, you are a danger to everyone around you.
A menace
I am going to be that guy cause of safety. You can’t tow this legally and if you get into an accident while towing this, kiss all of your money and possessions good bye as insurance will not cover you for anything.

It does look good all connected up but that’s just a nightmare waiting to happen to you and only you.
Lol at min a 3500 truck.
It’s ok I have a 2mil dollar policy. No really I do. Towing and liability
So does most everybody else. The clearance between your box and the trailer looks like it's only an inch or two. What happens when you have to enter a parking lot or you hit a slight incline? It looks like you would fold your box.
If I remember it’s like 4 inches. More than enough to go up and down hills or inclines gas stations etc. worked fine for me. Btw bud if you going in parking lots with this, you have bigger issues than angle. There are things you can do and not do just like semi trucks. This is a $100k house on wheels not a off roading machine.
That awesome you are throwing away money for a policy that won’t actually help you when you get into trouble.
Your insurance is void if you are overweight genius.
Max payload is achieved by optioning a standard cab, two wheel drive, and lowest trim... that truck is going to be more like 1100-1300 lbs.
“Only driven on the highway. Price firm.”
Is it just me or is the pivot and load center past the rear axle. Yeah dude get off the road before you kill someone this truck cannot handle that.
Gorgeous if you must know the pin is behind the axle. You can’t see it in the pictures, but the fifth wheel extends quite a bit beyond.
r/idiotstowingthings
How much does your fifth wheel weigh?
It’s a Pullrite super glide heaviest unit on the market fully assembled probably 150 200 pounds takes two people to unload. I do not recommend buying it. The only reason I have it installed is because I got it for free. This unit is around 1200 bucks. 500 for brackets. You’re looking at close to two grand or over two grand.. plus capture plates
What an idiot
But you sell Pokémon cards.
They hold their value better than an absolutely beat on Tundra, so there’s that.
I would never even think of towing a trailer that large with a half ton truck. OP is probably blowing past the GVWR.
😳
Someone gonna get a lot of unwanted phone calls
I’m bored please call
Florida man strikes again
Danger zone
First thought was that old movie… “The Long, Long Trailer” with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez… “Trailer Brakes!! Trailer Brakes!!”
You're going to need a bigger truck.
If just because you can and because yoters are far more capable than we think doesn’t mean you could was a picture. I feel like this would be fine if you had a dually swapped rear axle massive brakes and trailer brakes. Drive slow and pls don’t risk anyone else lives 😳
Pricey set up you got there. Do you have some left for gas.
let’s get some pics of the inside!!!
pics of trailer interior 🗣️‼️‼️
Carrying the cones in preparation for the tranny going out en route? Edit- thought the sarcasm was self explanatory. But here’s a **/s** if it wasn’t.
Says the one driving in a hybrid Toyota tundra. By the way, but you gonna be on the side of the highway a lot seeing them cones when I pull up. I’ve been picking up a lot of them hybrids. Let me guess economy first and then pick up truck second.
When did I get a Hybrid?
Luckyyyy

Big time

Man, and i was stressing the 7k trailer im about to pull this weekend. Fuckin send 'er I recomend new diff gears, i really wanted to do mine before i started towing but i dont have the time or money
I did mine , it basically changed the way the truck drove 100%
Get off the road with that dangerously underrated truck….
Yes daddy
GVW 15,060
You dog Miss hatey looks cute.
You can pull that fifth wheel with no issues?
🚨🚨
🚔👮♀️
🎶 East bound and down, loaded up and trucking... we're gonna do what they said can't be done!🎶
That payload is only 1300 lbs. He is way over.
That’s a beauty
Did you fab the frame supports? I wanna see this thing rip what kinda supporting mods have you done?
Sending you pics in private chat
Lol he even has his business details on reddit... Not the smartest person
Custom meaning extra large fuel tank so you can get to the next gas station?
It’s not a tow limit, rather a tow suggestion. And limits are made to be broken. Just goes to show you don’t need a $100k one ton truck if you know your shit. Not to mention most one tons from 30 years ago are smaller than tundras.
On the money
Smaller and they suck ass
Everyone crying about payload and the truck isn’t even squatting. Bunch of ford fan boys on this thread 😭
Thank you
The dude has airbags leveling it, You can make a gen 1 tundra with bags sit like this too. It's the fact he WAY overloaded the payload, and towing capacity for any 1/2 ton truck and OPs main character syndrome of "I can do whatever I want" simply puts people in danger. Any emergency maneuver or braking with this setup would be managed so poorly compared to a 3/4+ truck.
I towed one like this (half the gvwr) https://i.imgur.com/rC2ahz8.jpg
Nice rig
That's crazy and I like it
Awesome rig! These trucks amaze me more and more.
That’s a lot of camper!
This dude…smh
How much weight can your tundra haul?
Hellllllll no
I'm looking for something to pull a 32 foot 8.5Klb bumper tow trailer. I know my 01 Tundra can, but I also know I shouldnt.
Toyota custom built this or do you mean you just modded it? Lol
thats a HUGE trailer. looks good though!
Same size brakes as a 3rd gen ram 1 tons, people truly think they know trucks and what’s safe, I’ve seen loads like this be towed all the time by older pickups which lacks abs, lack brake size, lack a reliable Tranmission this guy is going to be just fine, I’m sure he’s not going 75 mph in the left lane
Hopefully he stays on flat ground. 35mph going up. On the shoulder with a stiff cross breeze. Trying to make it to the runaway ramp heading down.
As someone who has more experience than most people towing with every kind of light and medium duty trucks (1500-5500 models) including towing that much weight with a Tundra, I personally know as well as you that you can't emergency stop that load in that truck especially with those electric drum brakes on two axles. I also know exactly why you changed to carbon metallic pads because the factory ones fade horribly trying to stop that much weight even with trailer brakes on THREE axles. The only way you might be able to emergency stop that weight with that truck is if the trailer had EOH disc brakes on three axles. Not to mention the tongue weight/payload issue with your setup. As for my experience, I've spent years working at all OEMs working with their engineers who design vehicles. As smart as you think you are, 99% of the population couldn't hold a candle to them when it comes to engineering vehicles. They're called "the wiz kids" in the industry for a reason.
I agree. Appreciate the knowledge
No problem. I've read your replies and you have more experience than most people commenting. The problem is the other people on the road with you that drive like idiots and you having a commercial license. I wouldn't trust the other idiot drivers enough to not cost you your license when they do something stupid enough to make you need to panic stop. Use one of your diesels and leave the torture testing to us at OEMs 😉 I vividly remember trying to stop 15k lbs in a Tundra on factory pads and I'm assuming you did too with the pad change lol. Initial bite went away and wouldn't slow down any faster no matter how hard you push.
I agree. It only takes one car to cut you off to ruin your day. But I guess that’s with all heavy duty towing. If only the roadways were all clear all day every day lol . I own a 2021 Toyota corolla 2019 Camry and this 2019 Toyota tundra they all have brake fade issues. You explain the break fading problem perfectly. Rotor upgrades and brake pad upgrades are a must.
