Helpful Expert Reply:
All of the 2012 Toyota Tundras with the 5.7 liter motor have a high enough towing capacity for a 7,025 pound trailer. There are many configurations of the truck with this motor though so check your owner's manual to find your specific configuration to determine the exact amount it can tow.
Keep in mind that the delivered weight of the trailer is the dry weight. That means no water, gas, or cargo in the trailer. Once loaded and ready to tow it will weigh more so you have to know the maximum that your truck can tow prior to towing the trailer.
If you can tell me the bed length of your truck I can recommend an installation kit and a 5th wheel hitch.
