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.
