towing and payload!!!!

okay so I don't have a TRD, I have to DCLB V6. say i load the bed of the truck with an atv weighing like 600lbs, can I still tow as much as I'm rated for (3500lbs)

 

it says i think 1600lbs payload and 3500lbs towing capacity

 

Check your Combined Vehicle Weight Rating. For a 2015 DCLB 4x4 V-6 Auto it would be 8100lbs stock, or 11,100 with the full factory tow package. Shows a curb weight of 4285 which gives you a total of 3715# between the towed item and anything including people and such that you put into or add on to the truck. So take the 3715# and subtract the 600 pound quad along with the weight of the folks riding in the truck, any gear etc and you will find what you are "rated" to tow. With just the quad you would be at about 3115# towing before you deducted yourself etc. To be "by the book" you would need to take the weight of the truck ready to go and deduct that figure from the 8100# If you add up the payload of 1215# plus the 3500# tow capacity and the 4285# curb weight you would get a total of 9000# so you would be 900# over max combined weight. These figures are for a 2015 but should be pretty much the same on yours. In short, you can haul Max Loads or Tow Max Rating on their own, with weights added to either one reducing the amount of the other that you can do.
