Can it handle this?

[Cnad]

I went to my dealer to check out the new 07 Tundras and LOVE them!!
however, my saleslady was no help in trying to figure out if the truck could handle someof my needs

I got a plow thats a good 950 lbs, can the front axle handle this comfortably?? My Ram 2500 has no problems, but I think for a 1/2 ton it may be too much.
When I use the plow I also add about 1k lbs to the rear to even out the weight.

The other job it would need would be to handle a lil over 2k lbs in the rear at times, Im guessing that may over load. My 2500 handles it, bug its obvious it sags some, and when I go over 2500 lbs it sags bad.

Im interested in a 4x4 SR5 Off Road TRD double cab 5.7L model

That sounds like real (HD) work, and I would seriously consider sticking with an HD truck. Just my .02

2k in the back...I'd stick with a 3/4 or 1 ton just to be safe.

I wouldnt do that kind of work with anything less than a 1 ton.

DItto. I'd go with a new lighter plow and get the truck, though
