The 2000 Toyota Tacoma can haul anywhere between 3,500 to 5,000 pounds and carry a payload of 1,588 to 2,069 pounds. The tongue weight for the truck falls between 350 and 500 pounds. The towing capacity signifies the highest weight your vehicle can pull when towing a trailer. On the other hand, a truck's payload capacity refers to the maximum weight you can safely load onto the truck's cargo space. Risking damage to your truck's transmission can occur if you surpass the towing limit, potentially causing brake and tire issues, and putting strain on your engine, leading to overheating.
