Payload capacity

I researched the weight of dry cherry lumber. Around 3-4 pounds per board foot. I hauled 300 board feet and had no problems on the interstate. I did 60 mph, I could tell it was loaded. More by the raised hood feeling than any sluggish throttle. Still got 20 mpg.

 

You are my hero.

 

Uh ok

 

I hear Jettas can carry a lot of wood too..

 

That looks spensive

 

Got it for free from a friend. He milled it 40 years ago with plans to build cabinets. He’s 81 now so he gave it to me.

 

Yay

 

Come back when you move the cherrywood furniture with it.

 

If you are into payload numbers, you might find page 16 of this PDF interesting.

Maybe post on the thread "Tacomas doing work". Enjoyed the pictures and text.

 

I researched the payload capacity and the weight of dry cherry lumber. The lumber was around 950-1000 pounds. Still had a little weight to spare. Off Road model with an automatic transmission.

 

Whatcha making? I've built some stuff out of cherry. Good wood.

 

Nice. I always enjoy seeing pictures of people doing truck stuff with a Tacoma.

This wasn’t a huge load but man my truck rode like a Cadillac with this stuff in the bed haha

 

Bet no one tailgated you

 

Jewelry boxes, clocks, cutting boards. Small stuff, can’t move the big stuff around anymore.

 

Me too. I built some benches with cubbies under them for my daughter. Too big and heavy. Like the small projects now.

 

I might be interested in a cutting board. PM me when you have a couple to choose from.

 

Okay so I'm confused on the payload of the tacomas because on my door jam it says it's rated for 990 but when I look it up on Toyota's website it shows it being 1,155 and I highlighted the specific specs I have and it shows 1155

 

Would also confuses me is my old car which was a 17 RAV4 had a much higher payload than 990 so it confusing that a compact SUV has a higher payload than a truck

 

The door jam sticker is for the accessories installed at port, etc that’s different than the baseline trim which you have highlighted above.
