Vehicle modifications sticker

there is a yellow sticker on the frame when I open the driver door that says " modifications to this vehicle have reduced the carry weight capacity by 80 lbs" can someone tell me what that means? So it becuase of the weight of tow package and predator running bars???

 

Yep!

 

You have add on accessories such as step bars, bed cover, roof rack etc and that was subtracted from the factory rating. Its very common. Dont worry about

 

That was actually what I thought but I'm no engineer. Thank you for clarifying - I knew I would get the correct answer fast from the great Taco forum readers. Thank you

 

My sticker must have been from my mudflaps!!!

 

Fixed.

 

im not an expert....but im pretty sure it means that you have reduced the carry weight capacity of your vehicle by 80lbs because of modifications made to it.

 

I just noticed that mine has that sticker also!

 

What weighs 4lbs that would have been an add-on?
Is it my tonneau cover (factory Toyota tri-fold)?

 

I offset this by using summer air in my tires.

 

I seriously don’t think it weighs 4lbs, but I am struggling to figure out what would.

 

My 2018 TRD Pro’s only option was the chrome step bars which are now gone. The step bars were not heavy at all. I’m thinking 20 pounds each. That’s the only thing on my truck from the factory.

 

Mine says 122 lbs and it has a sticker over the factory tire size chart. The TSS package came with nerf bars and bigger wheels and tires. So i assume they are accounting for all of that.

 

I removed my sticker

 

Floor mats?

 

Uh oh. You're going to end up like Mickey in Pee Wee's big adventure... who cut the label off his mattress and went to jail.

 

Mud Flaps?

 

So every time your gas tank goes from empty to full your capacity goes down by 100 lbs?

 

1kg? That must be within the standard error. That's like water in the back or tree debris. My 13 Baja had it for the suspension. Does anyone pay attention to it when hauling?
