Towing Capacity - How many pounds is too much?

Hey guys, I was curious if anyone else is a little disappointed with the 3rd gen TRD 4x4 rims. I like the matte black color and overall spoke design, but putting 20in rims on a “off-road” package seems a little strange to me. For off-roading I really want a good tire with plenty of sidewall so I can comfortably air down and not worry about my rims getting scratched, 20s are about the last rim I would want for that purpose! I would understand these rims for a TRD sport trim that’s a little more focused for street and dirt but for the 4x4 off-road I feel like they could have stepped it up. I get that the TRD Pro is their more purpose driven offroad vehicle, but I feel like a majority of people who opt for the TRD 4x4 have the intent of taking it out in the dirt. I feel like a more purposeful TRD 4x4 rim might make sense. Would love to hear thoughts on this, do you guys like the 20s? Or would a 17in off-road option (that isn’t the $3500 TRD Pro rims) be appreciated

The 3rd Toyota Tundra introduced a new generation, with significant upgrades in both design and capability. The towing capacity for the 2022 Tundra depends on the engine and configuration you choose. Here's a breakdown:

2022 Toyota Tundra with 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 Engine:
Max towing capacity: 12,000 lbs (when properly equipped with the Tow Package)

2022 Toyota Tundra with 3.5L iForce MAX Hybrid Twin-Turbo V6 Engine:
Max towing capacity: 12,000 lbs (same as the regular V6)

The towing capacity can vary based on factors like drivetrain (2WD or 4WD), bed length, and trim level (SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, etc.). Be sure to check the specific towing ratings for your configuration.
