load capacity

I am sure this has been talked about a million times but anyways will my 4 cylinder access automatic all stock handle ton of topsoil. Is the bed big enough if it is will it handle that much. The lady said one scoop is about one ton....thx.

 

NO, You are rated at 1350 pounds. But, with the rear springs on Tacomas, you would be lucky to haul 500 pounds without serious problems. Do not try to haul 2000 pounds of anything.

 

Towing, yes. I wouldn't put 2,000 lbs of topsoil in the bed...

 

No way dude, you'll kill your rear suspension

 

Rent a uhaul trailer and haul what it will handle.

 

what can a prerunner handle in the bed?

 

Did they stop putting manuals in the truck's glovebox when they sell them ?

 

I thought that was emergency kindling and was part of the Toyota 4x4 emergency survival kit

 

Last month I had 10 railroad ties in my bed. They each weigh 200lbs and drove 30 miles. To be honest I was more worried about the tailgate than my 5100's. The toytec 2" leaf helped too. Wasn't close to bottoming out either.

 

No, not a ton. Capacity in the area of 1000 lbs.

Here's about 1200 lbs in my taco. She was squatting, that's for sure.

 

I miss dhk

 

Not only is a ton too heavy for your bed, but you might have a tough time stopping too. Like other have said, rent a trailer and haul the soil that way. Towing 2000 lbs with a Tacoma is fairly easy.

 

Thanks all! Yes I am one of the select few who received a manual upon possesion of my truck. I still can't see one scoop of soil weighing 2000lbs though.

 

Fixed that for ya.

 

Depends on how big the bucket is...

See what I mean?

 

It impacts the suspension carrying that extra weight around.

 

That would probably put soil over the whole truck

 

I agree not for these trucks , ironically some of the older pre Tacoma trucks could handle 2000 lbs, but not the newer bigger trucks!!
