There are plenty of reasons why the Toyota Tundra is one of the more popular pickup trucks on the market each year, such as its luxurious but durable interior or its powerful performance at an affordable price. The 2024 model is no exception, as it only improves upon previous models while retaining all that makes the Tundra a great pickup truck.

If you've been considering getting a 2024 Toyota Tundra, you may be wondering about the towing capacity, as this is one of the primary reasons people choose this truck. Below, we'll highlight what you need to know about the Tundra, including the different towing capacity options.

What Is the 2024 Toyota Tundra?

The 2024 Toyota Tundra is a pickup truck that offers owners a powerful and versatile driving experience. The Tundra sets itself apart from other trucks on the market in a few ways. First, instead of using a V-8 engine, the Tundra opts for a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, or a V-6 hybrid variant, depending on which you prefer. In addition, the 2024 Toyota Tundra doesn't have a full-time four-wheel drive option, but instead it uses a system that provides four-wheel drive when you need it and saves gas when you don't.

The powertrain option you select will determine the horsepower that you'll get, giving you more control over what you spend your money on. On the base model, you can expect to get 358 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading this engine delivers 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, while the hybrid produces 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Regardless of which engine configuration you choose, it'll come with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Of course, these 2024 Toyota Tundra specs are just the beginning. The Tundra also offers up to 122 cubic feet of passenger volume and up to 8 feet of length for the truck bed. On the inside, you'll find a wide range of features designed to deliver a premium driving experience. Some of these features available include:

• Semi-aniline leather-trimmed seats.
• American walnut wood-grain interior.
• 10-inch color head-up display.
• 12.3-inch digital meter.
• Acoustically laminated windshield and side windows.

With all these features, and more, you're in for a great driving experience every time you get behind the wheel of the new 2024 Toyota Tundra.

2024 Toyota Tundra Towing Capacity

One of the main reasons people choose the 2024 Toyota Tundra is for the towing capacity. How much you're able to tow with the Tundra will depend on your specific configuration, but you can expect to have an ample towing capacity regardless of which trim you select.

When properly equipped, the 2024 Toyota Tundra has a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds. This includes getting the non-hybrid rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Double Cab truck with the SR5 trim. At a minimum, the 2024 Toyota Tundra can tow up to 8,300 pounds, when you get the SR trim.

Below is a table that compares the towing capacity for the Tundra based on the engine you select:

If you want the maximum payload capacity, you should once again choose the RWD Double Cab version, as this delivers a maximum capacity of 1,940 pounds. The four-wheel-drive CrewMax version has the smallest hauling capability, coming in at 1,575 pounds. The TRD Pro has a similar max payload at 1,600 pounds.

For comparison, here are the maximum towing capacities of some similar trucks from other manufacturers:
