Vehicle load limits for the Toyota Tacoma include the total load capacity, seating capacity, TWR (Trailer Weight Rating), and available cargo capacity. These limits should be considered whenever passengers, luggage, or a trailer are added to the vehicle.
- Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight)
Total load capacity refers to the combined weight of all occupants, cargo, and luggage carried by the Toyota Tacoma. The total combined weight must remain within the specified vehicle capacity. - Seating capacity
Seating capacity indicates the maximum number of occupants, based on an estimated average weight of 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.
Even when the number of passengers does not exceed the stated seating capacity, the combined weight of occupants and cargo must still remain within the total load capacity. - TWR (Trailer Weight Rating)
TWR is the maximum gross trailer weight, including the weight of the trailer itself together with the cargo carried in it, that the Toyota Tacoma is rated to tow. - Cargo capacity
The amount of cargo that can be carried may increase or decrease according to the number of occupants and their combined weight. As passenger weight increases, the remaining capacity available for cargo is reduced accordingly.
Total load capacity and seating capacity
Information concerning the Toyota Tacoma total load capacity and seating capacity is also provided on the tire and loading information label. Refer to this label when determining how much combined passenger and cargo weight the vehicle can safely carry.
WARNING
Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the Toyota Tacoma or exceed its specified load limits.
Excessive loading can damage the tires and can also reduce steering response and braking performance. These changes may make the vehicle more difficult to control and can result in an accident.
