Towing and Payload Platinum 4x4 vs 4x2

Platinum 4x2 CrewMax 6.5-Ft. Vs.Platinum 4x4 CrewMax 6.5-Ft. Bed

 

5800lbs is pretty dang heavy, plus we all know how under stated the current model tundra weight is. Real life they weigh a lot more than curb weight

 

BigArt, where can I find the payload ratings for the other models?

 

Well dang, TIL. I found a thread you commented in from around April pointing out the calculated difference in curb weight using GVWR and payload on the sticker. Then the guy went and weighed the truck on 3rd party scales to confirm his mostly stock truck is weighing in over 6000lbs...

I thought they said the new model was gonna be lighter

 

go to the toyota configurator https://www.toyota.com/configurator/build/step/model/year/2022/series/tundra/
Build the truck you want to buy and then download your build. it list all the specs.

 

It only lists "maximum payload", not actual configured payload.

I built two identical SR5, DC, LB - one with the minimum package and one with the highest available package, both are specified as a "maximum payload" of 1,885 lbs.

The payload would obviously be several hundred pounds different between the two trucks.

 

I think it was more of a move weight around than make the truck lighter. They used aluminum on certain panels and composite bed, but then they added weight in other areas. Especially with the hybrid. Personally, I am fine with a heavier truck as I think it will tow better.
