Tundra cargo capacity

Hi Tundra owners. I guess I should be more concerned about your opinions first. Do you have a problem with not enough cargo carrying capacity with the tundra's.

 

Welcome from NY.

You sent me 3 PM's with no wording.

 

Lol. Getting used to the forum, sorry.

 

And now a 4th????

 

Is it not going through?

 

And a 5th!

 

Yup. Payload is the Achilles Heel of the Tundra. It is the one thing that causes people wanting to haul or tow heavy to ditch the Tundra and get an HD truck. Lots of info in the towing section about it.

 

Capacity is no issue.
<slams on brakes>
We can always fit one more.

 

Hey T-Rex. I have a product that I invented that is 1/2 ton specific and can increase cargo capacity up to 1600 pounds over OEM. I am just looking to spread the news and help owners out. Sorry but I'm a ford man but only like the F150 for the comfort and I can carry 3200 pounds now.

 

It's beer thirty......

 

If you can increase the payload capacity by 1600lbs, which tundras don't even have to begin with. You'll be a damn millionaire. Did you invent a new frame, brakes, axles, suspension, etc AND get it legally DOT approved for more payload? If so I'll be your first customer!

 

What is this cargo capacity you refer to?
If it moves forward, eventually stops and the leaf springs don't snap then you know you haven't reached capacity...

 

Ya, kinda like that!!

 

As @Sumo91 said, payload is way more than just how much weight it can hold without sagging. Payload takes into account braking ability, handling, engine and transmission cooling, and also safety aspects.

You're telling me you've had your product certified and crash tested? Love to see the NHSTA ratings on your product. If it hasn't been recertified by the proper engineers and officicial departments, then you haven't increased your payload capacity.

 

Don’t run him off with legalities and common sense. I really want to see this product.

 

I'm thinking he may have invented the 1 ton truck.

 

Or a trailer.

 

For a small fee i can teach you how to use a fine tip sharpie. My gvwr says over 16k now.

 

The pen is mightier than the Cat scale.

 

This is the kind of story that got my wife to merry her.
I hope you’re as good looking.

 

No crash test needed. We've registered it with NHSTA and just waiting for the return. Here is a link to the article Motortrend magazine did on it. You can decide as to allow it on your forum and let me know. Thanks for the postings so far.

So it's a Trailer Toad.... That doesn't increase payload. It lets you haul a larger trailer by taking the hitch weight, but your payload doesn't increase. You still can't put 2000 pounds of gravel in the bed of the truck. You need to work on your marketing.

 

And it’s not a controversial topic. Nope. Not at all. That can contains zero worms. Open at will.

 

How many empty messages has @Jim LE 1301 received today?

 

IDK about Jim, but I got one yesterday and one today. The day is young, though.

 

So it’s like a booster-jeep we use at work behind the trailer to move heady equipment, to be legal.
