As the curb weight of newer vehicles goes up, the payload capacity is going down.
--Platform----Payload-----Cargo Volume
4th Gen 4R --- 1285 lbs - (75.1 cuft)
Lexus GX470 - 1329 lbs - (77.5 cuft)
100-series LC - 1500 lbs - (90.8 cuft)
80-series LC -- 1765 lbs - (97.0 cuft)
3rd gen 4R --- 1810 lbs - (79.8 cuft)
A 3rd gen 4Runner weighs a half ton less than a 5th gen and it has a higher payload capacity.
You will see more aluminum construction in the future.
