The guy in this thread with 1400lbs in the bed, plus tongue weight of 7300lbs campers, plus 6 people will be pushing it also with your math. As long as people drive with caution and don't push it too much this truck is more than capable enough to handle 1000 or more lbs over its "rated" capacity. This is IMO.  |
And people wonder why I only buy new.
I hate to be the used owner of that guy's Tundra once he's done with it.
I guess once you own a 3/4 ton and then a Tundra it's difficult to understand why people overload their rigs when there's other trucks more capable. All the undo stress on the bearings, transmission, engine frame, and axle is not needed. I will NEVER tow more than 8k lbs and put in 1,500 lbs in my Tundra and the person that buys my Tundra will have a great truck that will last forever.
