Without even looking I'm going to bet yes. It's pretty easy to look up your towing capacity and max tongue weight even if you don't have the manual any longer.
I would never DD a dually, but that's just me. But I don't like DDing any truck for that matter. If you are be like 95% DD and 5% pulling the trailer, a SRW 3/4 or one ton is plenty.
Hell, I saw a guy getting gas the other day with a Tundra and a big 5th wheel trailer. I asked what it weighed, he said a little under 8K. Apparently, it's not an uncommon thing to do...
Can the 5.7 4x4 tundra tow my 7600lbs 5th wheel?

That poor CornPro trailer.View attachment 158640
Excavator weighs 13500. Truck has compressor and airbags. Probably at 30-40 psi here. 07 Tundra.
That being said, I’ve done this twice pretty much in desperation, moving a couple miles down a county road. Not recommended, obviously.
Just agreeing with a post upthread that the power and transmissions of modern trucks are so advanced. Pulling and acceleration wasn’t a problem.

I neglected to mention that’s a 12k.That poor CornPro trailer.
Fixing that trailer is how I make $$$.
Right now is not the time to buy used with the fabricated chip shortage. Used trucks are ridiculously high right now. Almost makes me want to sell my F350 (not). We recently traded the wife’s 2 yo Outback for a new one with more features and the similar term loan only went up about $50 a month. Weren’t planning on trading but they gave us a very good deal on our old Outback due to the used vehicle shortage.I have looked and looked, and something somewhat "nice" to drive on the interior is around $70k in the 3/4 or full ton trucks. Ugh. Used aren't much of a discount.
I think we'll be skipping the fifth wheel and I'll just get another SUV.
May have another idea for vacations anyway
