Payload of Tacoma

Look at that load of sheet rock!!!!!

I'll have to get a picture next time I load up on green firewood rounds.

I'm surprised that tailgate didn't collapse.

Do you have any pictures of the whole vehicle so we can get an idea of just how much sag there actually is, or a similar picture of the rear while unloaded?

Thanks!

Oh, and I forgot to add the weight of the 2x4s. Haha. When I looked out the side mirrors I was looking at the ground! Screw the TSB. Gotta love the Toytec AALs! No sag after either.

[Marazzito]

I am seeing some sag there... where you sitting on the bump stops? None the less, thats quite a load.

[TUNDRA786]

Da** thats a lot of sheet rock!

[Marazzito]

P.S. I like the wheels, those are the TRD ones right!

[TJOPILOT]

DAMN right its sagging! Felt like I was doing a wheelie! Nowhere near the bumpstops though. Gotta give the Toytec boys some credit. Those are the Ivan Stewarts. Ist gen with the crappy clearcoat. I'd buy the new ones in a heartbeat.

I am also surprised that the Tacoma tailgate didn't collapse, with at least half the 1800 lbs. of sheetrock resting there. I haul several thousand pounds of payload weekly in the Tacoma covered bed, but never put more than a few hundred lbs. on the tailgate itself at any time, since that tailgate is one of the lightest I have ever experienced with any Toyota trucks going back 25 years!

That's an impressive load.

Nah, the tailgate wasn't holding up the full 1800 lbs. Probably only about 1/3rd of that.

If all the 1800 lbs of weight was behind the rear axle, you would have never left the parking lot, due to being in permanent wheelie mode.
