Make sure your cooling system is on point and don't run into anything. Bring food also

Does it weigh more than the space shuttle?

You'll be fine.

How much does it weigh? Tundras twist a lot so I don't recommend them if you're pulling a travel trailer with a lot of wind resistance in windy mountainous parts of the country but a Mardi Gras float will be at super low speeds on flat ground.

You could probably do 9000 lbs across town at low speeds although not recommended no matter what the stated towing capacity is. and 12000 lbs at 5 mph. Just a guess.

I have a buddy that pulls a hay wagon through a pasture with a Tacoma, he'll be fine..... However, I'd try to load the float at the staging area. I wouldn't want to pull it across town loaded down.

It all depends on the weight of the float. I pulled my 26 ft camper to Disney World last year and had no problems, besides taking out a loan for gas money. I did have trailer breaks installed on my tundra also.

Side question, why do you want to be the guy driving s float? That's enough stress and boredom to ruin my day personally

Probably so since it's not a Silveraydo.

I'm assuming you know the difference between Tundra drivers and Silveraydo drivers right? Silveraydo drivers don't suck dick.

Sure they do. How do you think they pass the time waiting for the tow truck?
