Payload, What does yours say?

[onesojourner]

Could you guys help me out? I am evaluating the 6th gen as a replacement tow vehicle. I have read some conflicting reports about what the real world payload capacity is of these trucks. Would you guys mind sharing the sticker inside your drivers door that states the payload capacity?

You mean 5th gen? There is no 6th gen yet.

Here's my 5th gen (2020 Venture) sticker. 1,165lbs available payload. Note the yellow sticker to the left pertains to the Venture roof rack, which when used, will lower available payload by 48lbs.

My 2018 SR5 Premium also says 1165. I'm a bit curious why mine is the same as the others since I have the third row seating, seven passenger.

Mine is also discounted for the roof rack.

My TRD ORP, 835 lbs.

this thread SHOULD be an eye opener to all you guys running a million pounds of sh1t on your rear bumpers and roof racks "it feels fine" lolol

payload?

 

[Old Tanker]

On the TRD ORPs, the GVWR plate reads 6300. Curb weight is 4750. This should leave a payload of 1550. But the tire plate says passengers+cargo not to exceed 835. Is this because of the stock tires - the unlovable Duelers?

Do a search…?

Here’s another recent thread:

4runner cargo payoad

Spoiler alert… it’s the locking differential that reduces the payload.

 

[Old Tanker]

The locker doesn't significantly increase curb weight. If it decreased capacity we'd see a lower GVWR.

The "Weights and Capacities" specifications on the Toyota website only shows curb weight and GVWR. The number on the tire inflation sticker makes no sense, unless it is a reflection of a specific economy-level tire. Payload should be the difference between curb weight and GVWR, which is a difference of 1550, not 835. My wife's RAV-4 has a payload of 1240. 835 is four adults and a tank of gas - a smaller payload than a 2-door Wrangler.

None of the previous discussions provide a solid answer. Until reasonably explained, I will use 6300 as the max weight of a stock 4Runner.

So what you're saying is that the SR5 with it's higher payload is the superior model because I can then run a million pounds on my rear bumper and roof rack?

Until Toyota comes up with an official explanation, I'm going with my theory I posted in the linked thread from earlier this year.

 

[TA2018]

I agree with everyone else. 800 pounds isn't realistic. Why would a locking diff reduce payload so much?

 

[Tuco S.]

I read it to mean you shouldn't exceed 835 lbs of total payload/cargo if you plan to engage the rear locker.

sr5 2wd is superior. cause it is the lightest therefore has the most room for overlanding sh1t.:fencing:

The real world capacity isn't going to be printed on that sticker.....

That sticker is for soccer moms and trolls (can anyone say lawyer?)
