It’s crazy how heavy they get even with a “normal” overland build.

I had to weight my Taco since the truck was bought out of state, TRD Sport empty tank of gas had a weight of 4500 lbs

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.

I obviously agree with this, ha. Any pictures of your rig?

Double would be 8,960. At least I won’t 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)

...

Holy hell. lol!

And I accept this:

That's definitely scary to see the tear. Time for hammer hangers?
