Equipped with a smaller, yet torquier V6 or hybrid powerplant, the Toyota Tundra could tow up to 12,000 pounds (when properly equipped), and has a 1,740-pound max payload. For reference, those numbers mean you could tow utility trailers, enclosed trailers, 26 to 35-foot fifth-wheel trailers, boats, toy haulers, and more.
The Ford F-150 beats the Toyota Tundra and the rest of the competition in the towing and hauling category, as Ford’s legacy half-ton truck could tow as much as 14,000 pounds and has a 3,325-pound payload. Still, the Tundra’s 12,000-pound tow capacity is typically enough for most buyers who need more heavy-duty capabilities than a 2024 Tacoma, which has a 6,500-pound tow rating.

Moreover, the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro amplifies the rough-and-tumble vibe with its standard hybrid powertrain, four-wheel drivetrain, locking rear differential, Fox dampers, 1.1-inch suspension lift kit, and skid plates. Also included are bespoke 18-inch TRD wheels, chunkier all-terrain rubber, LED exterior lights, a heritage front grille design, and Multi-Terrain Select off-road driving modes to conquer inhospitable pavement.
