    Hello all. new to the forum. Have had my 2012 Tundra since new. great truck, love it a lot. She's turning 10 this August. A few things showing up, but otherwise she's been a great truck. We use our Tundra to tow our 24ft. Airstream Argosy and also tow tow our Airstream 31ft Classic.
    The motor is a beast, but I wish for more payload. Maybe some one on the forum will educate me. George

    You can't really change the payload, unless you start removing things from your truck. Even then, the gain is minimal (whatever you take off in lbs).

    It is what it is.

    greetings from the Emerald City. Can't you add some HD springs? Plenty of folks modifying suspension on this site.

    How does that add to your payload limit?

    I have a feeling you're going to tell me how it doesn't.

    I guess I'm referring to overload springs. I agree it doesn't increase payload, but the suspension doesn't bottom out...

    The OP asked about adding payload.

    My understand is, you can't add payload. You can however remove passengers, spare tire, tonneau cover, steps, amount of fuel carried, seats etc and add that amount of weight to the stated payload.

    I understand. I'm talking about real world trucks. HD springs could help if you consistently carry heavy loads or tow heavy trailers. If you're one pound over the stated payload limit, you won't crash and die (or endanger innocent by-standers). The safety implications were previously discussed elsewhere. HD springs could help if you consistently carry heavy loads or tow heavy trailers. My 2 cents.

    Welcome from phx. Best way to increase payload on a tundra is to trade it for a 3/4 ton ram.

    Thanks. Yes. I understand. I added firestone airbags some time ago. They help a lot to level the truck while towing.
