Tundra being sold in Australia

Looks like they are only offering the Limited Hybrid. I found it unusual that they list the towing capacity at 4500kg which is around 9900 lbs, but a Limited in NA is 11,500 or thereabouts. Anyone know why that would be? https://www.toyota.com.au/tundra/range

I wonder if they set up a separate line in San Antonio for the RHD? Or a port conversion (that seems like a huge PIA)

 

They are built in the U.S and shipped to AUS, then converted to right hand drives.

Towing capacities are based on local regulations. Australia probably has different sets of regulations compared to the US. Example, my 94 Land Cruiser requires a Class IV hitch to tow 5000lbs in the U.S but in every other part of the world you can use a bolt on receiver hitch like so.



Just depends on where you live.
