2024 Toyota Tundra Towing Capacity

by Thom Blackett

With trims ranging from the low-frills SR to the Lexus-grade Capstone, an under-the-hood roster that includes a turbocharged i-FORCE V6 and i-FORCE MAX hybrid V6, plus a choice of cab styles and bed lengths, the 2024 Tundra offers something for everyone in the full-size pickup segment.

Thanks to its 12,000-pound maximum towing capacity, the recently redesigned Tundra is also better positioned to compete with rivals like the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500. However, it falls well short of the Ford F-150, a truck capable of towing up to 14,000 pounds.
