The 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Has A Lower Payload Rating Than The Ford Ranger

The new Toyota Tundra is a big truck, no doubt about it. Well, it is a full-size pickup, which means that most drivers would expect correspondingly big numbers on its spec sheet, but the ’22 Tundra is beat by some smaller trucks in important specs, such as payload. Any single Ranger that Ford currently makes has a max payload higher than Toyota’s gnarliest new Tundra, the TRD Pro.
The TRD Pro has a max payload of 1,455 pounds, as Expedition Portal noted. The Ranger, on the other hand, will support from 1,478 pounds up to 1,905 pounds, depending on the trim. Notice that the term carmakers usually steer you towards is “up to.”
The new Tundra’s payload rating is up to 1,940 pounds, but the TRD Pro will carry much less. Funny how the “up to” phrase doesn’t apply to price, though. When discussing price, the clause is almost always “starting at.” Toyota is not the only company that does this; all carmakers do this. Phrases like “up to” and “starting at” are common practice.
But it’s a practice that, in this case, can make the Tundra’s specs confusing to those who aren’t familiar with pickups. There’s a difference between trucks that can tow and haul, and those that are considered performance trucks. The Tundra TRD Pro is very much in the performance camp.

It even says so in your post
It’s a “performance truck” whatever that means. Built for weekend baja warriors lol

This is normal for all brands. Did you read it before posting?

By no means I am a Toyota advocate because I hate them. But the TRD Pro is in line with the other brands specialty trucks. The Raptor and the trx have a much lower payload than the F-150 and the Ram because of the added weight of the suspension system and the general fact that they are not meant to carry a load. Will they do it? Yes, but not as well as the normal models.

Maybe you should’ve used your brain a little before posting propaganda

This truck is marketed for the Dallas real estate professional that doesn't want to lease a range Rover but wants something masculine.

I have a cousin that is high up in production... The basic package is poor branding. It is the equivalent of calling a Ford ranger s full sized truck. A few years ago the boss tundras were better than most American brands. Dude started out on production line and then moved up to logistics, quality control, and supply chains. Sly country boy that isn't afraid to tell truth or talk shite. Will ask him for some input on this. He got a basic degree in industrial manufacturing... Basically an advanced level of welding/process type stuff but below and engineering degree. Had a couple of friends do this at state and all of them upper level management at car manufacturers. Basically a welding hands on type degree with business mixed in... Kinda wish I would have gone that route as opposed to finance. Straight shooter with the ability to have say so in manufacturing processes. Kinda of a mechanical engineering but with more emphasis on application experience in college.

The Ford Raptor has a lower payload rating than the Honda Ridgeline.
so if you need to use your truck as a truck....buy the Honda.

First, payload is a crock of shite. It's a tax thing for classifying a truck. It's not like the engineers said "Oh we only make these components to handle exactly 7000lbs" Many brands just up the GVWR so they get more payload. It's just a number to go by. GMC offers a +800lb GVWR to compensate for a diesel but doesn't change the suspension. Why is that?
Second, the offroad style vehicles have a soft suspension for fast baja style off-roading. They aren't really meant for towing.

New Tundra TRD has higher payload than the RAPTOR! Why is no one talking about this? Terrible take & these so-called auto journalists suck.

They’re not for use as trucks. They’re more like cars shaped like trucks.
Ever seen a Tundra pulling a big boat over a bay on the coast? The bed/frame twists around like crazy.
