did not see any mention of a rear locker. that's disappointing. i'm not sure why Toyota has no problem putting a locker in the Tacoma but not in the Tundra.

---

It has a rear locker. That was shown in one of the videos I watched yesterday. I'll see if I can find it.

Watched the video. They mentioned it. Well that's a good change.

Watched the video and they did mention that. Glad to hear it.

Just watched the video and it does have an electronic locker finally.

For those wondering about payload it's 1,940. It's in the articles posted on this thread. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Maybe that is only for TRD PRO trim?

MAX payload is 1,940 which will be on a 2wd stripped down truck. The trd pro payload I believe was 1,490, and the limited crewmax with 6.5' bed was 1,270

This does make me more excited to find out more about the 2023 4Runner.

Love that they finally updated everything. I'll probably pick one up in 2-3 years.

Same. Love my '14 Tundra and can pick up one of these after mine hits 200k miles in the next couple of years.

Pretty much my exact plan. I plan on upgrading from the SR5 to the TRD Pro.

Kudos for finally ditching the cruise control stalk. Buttons on the wheel are better.

Same, I've got a 2015 with 170k right now. It's paid off and I hope to drive it as long as I can and pocket my auto allowance.

Ugh. Well I guess The new tundra is off the list. Pathetic payload capacity.

F150 payload for a Supercrew for comparison

Even the Ram 1500 which rides on a coil sprung rear has payload of a couple of hundred pounds more on all similar trim levels as the Tundra.

How the eff do you mess that up when you had ~15 years to plan this generation?

---

99% of truck owners haul groceries and don't need to haul pallets of feed. I think I use my truck more than most and the most I generally haul is a KTM 150 & XR80, which weigh like 400lbs w/ gear.

I did get a half yard of gravel once which I'm sure was way more than my Tundra is rated to haul.

El_duderino said:

I was expecting numbers to at least match the ecoboost since they hyped it up so much and took so long to bring the change. Regardless, I think it's awesome they offer a 6.5' bed crewmax and hope it's just as reliable as previous Gen tundras.

---

Yeah the longer bed is a huge win.

Exactly. My bed get used all the time. I'll almost never get close to that payload.

Not sure it's messed up. What is the target market for the Tundra? It's not a work truck - 1400+ payload is more than enough for the vast majority of the Tundra market. Being capable off-road and a smooth ride are more important than payload.

---

I've only owned an El Camino so I'm not sure why I'm even commenting on this thread, but I was going to say this. 99.9% of people will never come close to the Tundra's payload max nor would Ford, Chevy, or Ram drivers.

I've used my Tacoma maybe 7-8 times for hauling landscape material and fence materials.

Twice I hauled a half-yard of river rock, and finally realized what it was like to steer with so much weight in the bed: the front wheels wanted to wander left and right. The steering wheel needed exaggerated movements vs normal conditions. I think I had put 1500-1700 lbs in the truck that was rated for 1250?

I wish in those instances it would have been more capable. But that's the only time.

Payload equal / slightly better than Raptor, FYI. If you need to haul 2k lbs of ish, then buy a 1 ton truck or rent a trailer.

---

The Raptor is a special purpose vehicle. The TRD Pro isn't even in the same stratosphere.

if 99.9% of people in this thread won't come close that payload, then they could/should be driving midsize trucks.

Why?

Will the tacomas see something similar in the next coming years ?

Agreed, most tundras are pavement princesses but that can be said about 95% of the market. That being said I use my bed on my tacoma regularly for hauling junk, furniture, brush Etc…

Tow Haul Mode - yay

Still no "set it and forget it" AWD - nay (would be nice here in the frozen tundra of MN...no pun intended)

Sequoia has this, if you have any interest in SUV form factor

Dat 1794 interior doe....

The 3rd generation Raptor has a slightly higher payload capacity than the TRD Pro. Raptor comes in at 1400 officially. In reality, a fully loaded Raptor will be a little over 1300.

They are basically identical. Both are heavy twin turbo V6 IFS crewcabs whose primary purpose is to haul dad to work Mon-Fri and kids to soccer pratice on Saturday mornings. Change my mind.

---

LMAO

A Raptor and a Ted pro are no where near identical. Watch some videos on the raptor runs in Baja. No TRD pro is going to handle that without heavy modifications.

Just because most people use them the same way does not make them the same.
