It's right there on the other door sticker (1:15) , next to the yellow one, that says your Tacoma has a payload capacity of 430 kg or 948 lbs. Minus the 2 pounds from the yellow sticker. My understanding is that's with a full tank of gas, without the driver. Then subtract the weight of your side steps and sport bar, which would be about 40 pounds? After adding 4 adults at 200 lbs each, congratulations you can carry on additional 106 lbs. of payload. Beer for the passengers and maybe a fishing rod or two.
I’m shocked Rob... the 22 Tacoma sneak peak photos are all over the internet and here you are with a video of toilet paper in the cargo bed and talking about mulch......lol!! 😂
I have hauled sand, dirt, stone, and mulch in all 3 generations. I have airbags with cradles now and with 40 psi in the bags to bring the back to original ride height. It drives normal and brakes are fine, plenty of power. The weakest link is the leaf springs. My 2010 had the leaf packs replaced twice for a recall. Once for weak springs and once for safety issues for rupturing the gas tank. I replaced the front wheel bearings and carrier bearing and universals on that truck. The welds for the carrier bearing were cracked from the vibration of the worn bearing. I hauled many over the maximum payloads in that truck, and paid the price.
I'm starting to wish I had bought the 2022 Ford Ranger. If the dealer asks, I'm towing just half the max capacity. They can suck an egg. I bought the $150,000 mile warranty because I intend to Max out the trucks stated capability.
The sticker on my 2020 Pro says it was reduced by 41lbs. It came out of the factory with no options - TRD air filter added at port, Predator Steps and other options added by the dealer...and then me.
@@RobMotive From what I've seen from fellow owners, the yellow weight sticker is added at the Port after all options have been applied. The standard number for 2020 Pros is 40lbs with no options added. Mine is 41lbs - the TRD Air Filter was added at the Port. Another 2020 Pro owner has a 69lb reduction and had a bunch of options added at Port. My truck ultimately had those same options plus Predator steps added at the dealership so if the stickers were applied there, mine should have had a higher reduction than his.
Hey Rob, "Payload capacity" is always the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating minus the Curb Weight. True for any vehicle. So the "Payload" must count people, stuff, and any trailer tongue weight. And, yes, any significant accessories. The current Tacoma V6 double-cab 4x4 payload rating is around 1100 pounds depending on the trim level. A 4x2 SR access-cab 4 cylinder has payload over 1600 pounds since the cab, engine, and driveline weigh less than a 4x4 double-cab. On the plus side, most people are not likely to have four people in the cab at the same time as they fill-up on mulch at Home Depot. On the down side, while I think technically trailer tongue weight "counts" the same as cargo, the trailer hitch is far behind the rear axle so every 100 pounds of tongue weight will have more impact than 100 pounds in the truck bed. If a person has a 4x4 with payload rating 1100 pounds, and an RV trailer with a hitch around 500 pounds, and 400 or 500 pounds in people, that's about all it can handle without much "stuff".
I have a 21 Tacoma Trd off-road 4 x 4 and the base pay load on that without any modifications is 990 and for a reference my pops has a 21 GMC sierra Denali and if I recall correctly according to the door jam that has a payload of around 1600 whenever talking about payloads on vehicles always try to go by the door jam because it gives you a more accurate reading on your specific vehicle and also just to double check on a completely different vehicle, I went to my local dealer and looked at the door jam of a newer Tacoma Trd pro 4 x 4 and that also has a pay load of 990 without any modifications Rob what is the specific payload on your Tacoma according to the door jam not the Internet
In my company we load those trucks, our buckets are from a 1/4, 1/2 and 1 full yard, every yard weight about 2500 pounds as an average. We've got a lot of customers taking 1/2 yard and carrying it without any issues.
Depends on their trucks and the additional weight (in the form of mods) they've added. 1/2 yard would exceed the Tacoma's specification even without the weight of the driver. Of course there's always a tolerance in the specs, but I doubt a dealership would allow it if there were a warranty claim for a truck that hauled above the specified weight.
@@RobMotive well we have a lot of tacomas without significant improvement or mods? According to the manufacturer on mine os 1440 pounds, and of course being 4wd reduces the payload
I carry 350-500lb of sugar, flour, butter and other restaurants products 3 times a week on my 2017 Subaru crosstrek manual on ko2 BFG and it does ok lol👌. Nit going anywhere fast for better gas mileage and here in Utah with these mountains I can really feel the weight. Some how I still average 30mpg going 65-70. I’m think of trading in for a truck but not sure what to go for. Maybe taco maybe f150??
Good content Robb as usual. Quick question. Is your step up hitch on the back of your Tacoma custom or did you order it as is? Like the look! Is it wired into your brakes and have leds with it?
I remember filling the bed of my 1972 Datsun pick-up truck with dirt. Also loaded 1/2 yard of gravel in my Silverado 1500. Not often but definitely tested the capacity of my trucks
Don't forget: The maximum payload doesn't include fuel either. Fill that tank up to full? That's another 120 or so pounds of weight gone from your maximum carrying capacity. The spare tyre, a wheel jack, even the actual tub on the back may be eating away at your load capacity.
@@PS987654321PS Unless things are different in America, then yes I'm sure. Here in Australia the payload is what the cab and chassis alone can carry. Everything else from the passengers to the fuel are included in the payload amount. Buy a ute that can 'carry' 1,000 kilograms, then put a tray on the back, two passengers and a spare wheel? Suddenly all you can carry in the back is now something like 600 kilograms if you're lucky.
Rob my first toyota truck I used for work I put 2000 square feet of tile plus 6 50 pound bags of thin set drove 50 miles with it and the only problem I had was the front tires where just touching the ground stupid but I was 21 and didn't want to make to trips
Ive seen alot mods done that clearly weren't thought out , and payload weight is one the biggest one especially for some of these overland builds with stock engines
I could tell you my Tacoma is rated to carry 1,600 lb, with me and a few items in the cab around 290ish. I've put 1100 in the bed and that's the highest I would go, bc the the leaf spring dampener was maybe a inch from hitting. Toyota over exaggerates payload, a coworker has a 19 ranger it will take 1375 before it's bottomed out.
I've loaded more than 30 bags of mulch or more many times .. not to mention my quad runner and all my gear. The only thing I'm scared of doing is hauling more toilet paper than needed ... Lol, Mrs LB20 and myself had a good chuckle of that shot of the bed.. classic my friend!
My Toyota pickup, 1/2 ton I overloaded with a ton of gravel. The suspension held up BUT BUT is was dangerous. I was driving at 50 mph and suddenly realized the steering was very poorly responsive. All that weight in the back left less weight on the front tires. I could have wrecked but once I noticed it I slowed down. I will never do that again.
What’s worse is F150’s and Tundras are just as big and expensive as an HD but have the same payload as a Tacoma or Ridgeline. If you’re gonna spend the money just get a HD
You are comparing a quarter ton truck to a half ton. An f150 can carry twice as much as a Tacoma and can tow about 12 thousand pounds. I’ve seen tundras tow skid steers pushing over 13k. I don’t know where you got your info but you are very wrong.
@@andrewdean1761 Nope, you’re wrong. The new crew cab Tundra has a payload rating of 1400lbs. The Honda Ridgeline has a payload rating of 1500lbs. Most Tacomas have payload ratings of 1200-1500lbs depending on configuration. Look it up yourself. Half tons cannot carry twice as much as a mid size. That’s why almost all half tons will exceed their payload rating before reaching their max tow capacity due to the tongue weight using most or exceeding the payload rating. So if you’re gonna spend $60-70K on a new truck just get a HD and you don’t have to worry about always maxing out your trucks payload.
Sorry , I should read what I write before hitting send . What I meant to say was my 21 pro , yellow door sticker says it’s cargo and occupants is a max of 990lbs ! That really true ?
What do you think of the 640 lb that's tongue weight on the new tacomas? Do you think it could get up to 800 lb tongue weight without falling off? The 640 number seems like it's just 10% of the stated Max tow of 6400. I'm wondering what the hardware itself is actually rated for.
LOL, I’m not following your logic here. You are in control of what you are hauling. So, wouldn’t you be the one overstating its capacity? And I’ve got to ask, do you really carry three 200 lbs dudes with you to pick up mulch? If they aren’t helping you loads those 16 bags, I’d make them walk home. 😬
Hi Rob. Scotty recently did a video on the history of Toyota and had some interesting information on the Toyota badge. I never knew it had all the letters in it to spell Toyota . You may want to do a similar video ?Always enjoy your videos.
What a great point Rob! Another great feedback. I usually estimate 1100 # and I go solo to grab stuff from Lowe's or Home Depot. But have you ever seen these same trucks when they go to South America or even in Africa? They get abused and they load the hell out of them. I saw some videos with Tacoma's crossing waters with a dozen of people on the bed of the truck with their bags (more weight) and these trucks just keep on running. In general these are recommended OEM weights. If people exceed the recommended max weight, they just got to be careful in doing it and any damages, Toyota won't be liable for it for exceeding max recommended weight.
Maybe once or twice. Hauling a bed full of wood. I filled it till I could see the truck slightly squatting in the rear. I also put 15 bags of mulch in my Subaru. Lol
I carry 350-500lb of sugar, flour, butter and other restaurants products 3 times a week on my 2017 Subaru crosstrek manual on ko2 BFG and it does ok lol👌. Nit going anywhere fast for better gas mileage and here in Utah with these mountains I can really feel the weight. Some how I still average 30mpg going 65-70.

Tundra is a half ton pickup. Tacoma is a light pickup. You can haul a half ton easy in this truck. Consider yourself lucky. If you need to haul more buy a truck rated for it. What the hell did you expect from a light pickup?
This is what I simply do not understand about most people who say negative things about the Tacoma. It is a LIGHT DUTY truck but they want it to do Heavy duty things. It's not designed for that! I also have a Tundra, the most I have loaded on that Tundra was a pallet of paver stones, I would say the estimate weight was around 3,500-4,000 lbs per the Home Depot website. I would NEVER do that on my Tacoma because I know it wasn't meant for that. I also wouldn't do it on a Ranger, Colorado, Canyon, or on any other light smaller truck. Yet people really want these small trucks to be withstanding 6,000 lbs lol. Get a diesel if you constantly need to be moving weight, they're designed specifically for that.
The capacity is actually less than that, look at the big label to the right of your little yellow sticker, it is only 945lbs, same as on my 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport!!!
Just a legality note and I’m pretty sure it’s in the US And for sure Canada if you over load your maximum vehicle load capacity ,you can and will be charged under the highway traffic act . Same rules applies to commercial/ heavy duty and passenger/ light duty vehicles. Can you say bad tire blow outs and vehicle roll overs and worse case brake failure.
Nah, that guy has the store employee load his truck. I plan to have three dudes help me load/haul/unload a 900# woodstove soon, I guess we will haul the fuel on another trip.
Not entirely sure where your expectations are for a midsize truck. It’s plenty of truck for those of us that haul a couple 100 lbs in the bed once in a while and pull light trailers. If you’re throwing a bucket of mulch or dirt in it expecting the truck to not squat then your expectations were simply not realistic
@@RobMotive know what your needs are before you purchase. Just seems your slamming a midsize truck for being… a midsize truck… buy a 1/2 or 3/4 ton if you’re hauling heavy regularly 🤷♂️
This something I always live in fear of, these are just estimated weights. Bumper with winch 100 Rock Sliders 150 Bed Rack 150 Decked system 200 Roof Rack 40 RTT 150 Driver 200 So I’m at approx 990 without any passengers or gear. I do have heavier coil/leaf springs to handle the weight but the springs are not the only thing the payload affects. 😕
I dont think your payload is correct. I have a 2020 4x4 offroad 6spd and my payload per the sticker in the door(with the tire pressure recommendation) is only 945 lbs. Your truck should be similar to mine so 4 200lb dudes should give you 145lbs to put in the bed.
It's right there on the other door sticker (1:15) , next to the yellow one, that says your Tacoma has a payload capacity of 430 kg or 948 lbs. Minus the 2 pounds from the yellow sticker.

If you can put leak helpers or override on your leaf springs and keep an eye on where where this brings ride after you fill it up

The C channel is probably the reason, whereas the Hilux and truck land cruisers have boxed frame and can carry more

the nissan frontier is a tougher truck, beefy fully boxed frame and a strong 4.0
Who would know? It’s barely hit the market🤔
@@RobMotive the older one. 2005-2020
Ahh! I get it👍
I can pick up my "mulch" without 3 heavy friends..... so theres that :)
That's great! More mulch for you👍
The big question is ...How many packages of TP can your Tacoma haul??????....Smile....
Great video thanks!!!!!
A lot......😀
The capacity is actually less than that, look at the big label to the right of your little yellow sticker, it is only 945lbs, same as on my 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport!!!
There are TRD SPORT 2WD and 4WD as you'll know and every one has a different payload and towing capacity
True👍
This why I traded up for F350 with 3530 lbs of payload. Problem solved for my needs for\ towing and hauling.
Always gotta get what you need👍
Just a legality note and I’m pretty sure it’s in the US And for sure Canada if you over load your maximum vehicle load capacity ,you can and will be charged under the highway traffic act . Same rules applies to commercial/ heavy duty and passenger/ light duty vehicles. Can you say bad tire blow outs and vehicle roll overs and worse case brake failure.
Hmmm...I’m sure we probably have some law about that here🤔
Who takes three buddies along to pick up mulch?
A smart man who wants to sweat as little as possible 😂
Nah, that guy has the store employee load his truck. I plan to have three dudes help me load/haul/unload a 900# woodstove soon, I guess we will haul the fuel on another trip.
If the Tacoma doesn’t have much payload then is it a truck? Time to compare to the Honda Ridgeline.
It is indeed. A midsize truck👍
My aunt Chris did that with her s10 one time with gravel truck was sitting on the bump stops lol
I believe it! It wouldn't take much gravel to exceed a trucks specs.
Please double-check your payload capacity. It is 990 lb, not 1440 lb.
Not entirely sure where your expectations are for a midsize truck. It’s plenty of truck for those of us that haul a couple 100 lbs in the bed once in a while and pull light trailers. If you’re throwing a bucket of mulch or dirt in it expecting the truck to not squat then your expectations were simply not realistic
Squat? Sure. Exceed capacity? No.
@@RobMotive know what your needs are before you purchase. Just seems your slamming a midsize truck for being… a midsize truck… buy a 1/2 or 3/4 ton if you’re hauling heavy regularly 🤷♂️
Not slamming anything. Just telling it like it is👍
well...you got me scared now.
Lol! Just beware😬
This something I always live in fear of, these are just estimated weights.
Bumper with winch 100
Rock Sliders 150
Bed Rack 150
Decked system 200
Roof Rack 40
RTT 150
Driver 200
So I’m at approx 990 without any passengers or gear.
I do have heavier coil/leaf springs to handle the weight but the springs are not the only thing the payload affects. 😕
For sure! You have to take all of that into account 😬
I dont think your payload is correct. I have a 2020 4x4 offroad 6spd and my payload per the sticker in the door(with the tire pressure recommendation) is only 945 lbs. Your truck should be similar to mine so 4 200lb dudes should give you 145lbs to put in the bed.
My info comes from Toyota👍
