Carrying capacity is vehicle-specific
Options, passengers, cargo and trailer tongue load matter. Use the vehicle's own label value when you want TowGauge to complete the payload check.

2011 Tacoma towing FAQ
What is the maximum towing capacity of a 2011 Toyota Tacoma in Canada?
TowGauge currently has partial 2011 Tacoma coverage. The highest towing rating in the configurations verified so far is 6,500 lb, but that is not presented as the maximum for the entire model year. Only the configurations listed on this page are currently mapped.
Does every 2011 Tacoma have the same towing capacity?
No. Towing capacity can vary by configuration, drivetrain, powertrain, cab, bed and equipment. TowGauge stores the source-backed configuration instead of applying one headline number to every vehicle.
Why doesn't TowGauge auto-fill Toyota payload from a brochure?
Vehicle-specific carrying capacity should come from the actual vehicle label when that check matters. TowGauge leaves that value unresolved rather than substituting a model-wide comparison figure.
