First of all, 500 pounds of tongue weight on a 2,000-pound trailer is a lot. A trailer's tongue weight is usually about 10 to 15 percent of its total weight. You might weigh the trailer when it's loaded and ready to go using a commercial scale and also check the tongue weight with a scale like # e99044.
If your trailer's loaded and ready to tow tongue weight is 500 pounds, you'll then also need to add in the amount of weight you have be in the back of your 2010 Toyota Tundra behind its rear axle. This combined number will be the deciding factor in a weight distribution system.
The Equal-i-zer # EQ37060ET will work great for you as long as your tongue weight isn't heavier than 600 pounds. If you go over then I suggest the # EQ37100ET system. It's rated from 600 to 1,000 pounds tongue weight.
