This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.
Itās crazy how heavy they get even with a ānormalā overland build.I just weighted mine at a truck station in Utah, 6,800 lbs.
I obviously agree with this, ha. Any pictures of your rig?I'm 7800lbs rides and drives better than stock on the highway and off road with the Deaver/Elka custom suspension and 5.29s it never feels burdened as it did stock with no load. I see forums where Karen's freak out over going 100lbs over GVWR like your frame will break in half. Tacoma is over built but spring rates are soft to appeal to the lifestyle crowd. HIlux is a smaller truck with over twice the payload of Tacoma. Long as the suspension and brakes are up to task, send it.
EX-WIFE in 3.....2.....1.....7800 w/ wife sitting in it
Double would be 8,960. At least I wonāt be anywhere close to double! The truck would probably fall apart in pieces at that point.
Update: ... 7,900 lbs.
...
Tacoma: 5,600 lbs (1,100 to 1,300 lbs payload)
...
And I accept this:
