Maximum Towing Capacity - 6500 lb

The maximum weight that Toyota Tundra is allowed to tow. The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3280 ft (1,000 m) above sea level. With increasing altitude the engine power and therefore the car's climbing ability are impaired because of the reduced air density, so the maximum trailer weight has to be reduced accordingly. The weight of the car and trailer must be reduced by 10% for every further 3280 ft (1,000 m) (or part thereof).

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) - 6900 lb

This is the maximum amount of weight Toyota Tundra is rated to carry (engine, chassis, fluids, passengers, cargo, load - everything). It is often determined by the manufacturer and is indicated in the owner's manual or on the inside of the drive's door panel.

Curb Weight - 5185 lb

This is how much Toyota Tundra weighs sitting on the curb with no driver, passengers, no cargo and no load with all standard options.

Payload Capacity - 1715 lb

Payload is considered all the extra stuff you put inside your vehicle, whether it be passengers or a pile of rocks, that weight is all considered payload. You can increase it by:

  1. Upgrading the Rear Springs.
  2. Adding Coil-Over Shock Absorbers.
  3. Installing a Longer Truck Bed.
  4. Attaching a Trailer.
  5. Adding Bed Racks.

Horsepower - 310 hp

The higher the power of your engine, the more weight your car can pull.

Torque - 327 Lb-Ft

High torque is essential for towing because it allows you to pull the trailer at a lower RPM, reducing the strain on the engine.

Axle Ratio - 3.91

The higher the axle ratio, the more power your vehicle produces, and as a result, the more weight this car can tow.

Drive Type - four-wheel
?

It is the same for all trims.

All-wheel or rear-wheel drive vehicles are best suited for towing, while front-wheel drive vehicles can haul much less weight.

Transmission - 6-spd auto w/OD
?

It is the same for all trims.

Do not overload your vehicle while towing, as this can cause the transmission to overheat and fail. If your transmission has "Towing mode" - be sure to turn it on.

Turbocharger - no data

Turbocharged engines produce more power, so if you need a vehicle for towing, choose the one equipped with a turbo.

Wheelbase - 145.7

The longer your vehicle's wheelbase, the less likely the trailer you tow will push down on the rear axle and lift the front end.

Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - 4000 lb
?

It is the same for all trims.

It is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a front axle of your Toyota Tundra.

Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - 4100 lb

It is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a rear axle of your Toyota Tundra.
