Is it the engine size, frame strength, or weight? Or something else?

What is different in between the Tundra and Tacoma that allows the Tundra tow more? Or a semi?

You don't buy a truck for its fucking fenders!

2.5" lift w/35's

The frame, the engine, the transmission, the axles, the brakes.

Also suspension and drive line. Basically you need a completely new truck to gain any significant weight in tow capacity.
