After Six Toyotas, a 1,380-Pound Tundra Payload Sticker Changes the Math
Original source: Torque News

A Toyota Tacoma owner, whose truck may be written off after a deer strike, considered moving to a Tundra but found its 1,380-pound payload rating insufficient for his camper, family, and boat. He estimated needing 1,700-1,800 pounds, exceeding the candidate's capacity. The discussion revealed that advertised 1,940 pounds apply to lighter configurations, and real door labels often show lower figures. Additionally, the Four Wheel Campers Fleet, designed for midsize trucks, may not fit the Tundra, and airbags or tires cannot increase factory payload ratings.

Toyota Tundra owner swaps pickup for GMC Sierra 3500HD after weight overload

Phil Walworth found his Grand Design Imagine 2800BH trailer's actual tongue weight was about 1,200 lbs, double the claimed 604 lbs, and his Tundra was 400 lbs over GVWR. He upgraded to a GMC Sierra 3500HD AT4 Diesel.

2026 Toyota Tundra Owner Wants Airbags for 9,200-Pound Grand Design, but They Cannot Add Payload

A 2026 Toyota Tundra owner weighed his Grand Design Imagine 2970RL at 9,200 pounds, which is 1,920 pounds below the truck's 11,120-pound tow rating. However, the tongue weight could range from 920 to 1,380 pounds, potentially exceeding the truck's payload capacity. Airbags and stronger rear suspension do not increase legal load ratings, so the owner must verify actual tongue weight and door-jamb payload before adding them.

2025 Toyota Tundra owner reports trailer sway with Grand Design Imagine

A Georgia owner of a 2025 Toyota Tundra reported highway sway while towing a large Grand Design Imagine travel trailer, despite using a mechanical equalizer hitch. He sought advice from the 2023-2027 Toyota Tundra Owners Facebook group about upgrading to the Lippert CURT True Course electronic anti-sway system. The issue stems from the half-ton truck's coil-spring rear suspension lacking lateral stiffness and the passive nature of friction-based hitches, which cannot counteract sudden lateral forces from crosswinds or passing trucks.
