I looked up the towing capacity of your 2010 Toyota Tundra and it can have a capacity of between 4,800 to 10,800 lb depending on how it is equipped. Since that's a pretty wide range I'd recommend you check with a Toyota dealer to see what your exact capacity. If it's the higher 10.8k capacity you'd be totally fine but if it's at or below the capacity I wouldn't recommend it since mountains can be harder on vehicles due to the inclines and declines.

You'll definitely want a brake controller for your truck as well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

The correct brake controller install harness for your 2010 Toyota Tundra is the part # 3040-P which is a custom fit.
