Towing Capacity - How many pounds is too much?

IRONMAN4X4 · 2026-01-12T22:00:06+00:00

Hey everyone, stoked to be here. We’re IRONMAN 4X4, and we spend a lot of time thinking about vehicles that carry weight, tow, and rack up serious miles. Suspension is our primary focus, with systems designed to manage load properly, improve control, and maintain ride quality over time — not just the first 10k miles. We also offer bumpers, armor, rooftop tents, and awnings designed to work together, whether the goal is daily driving, overlanding, family travel, or some combination of all three. We’re here to answer questions, share setup guidance, and help people build trucks that make sense for how they’re actually used. • Tundra suspension systems: https://www.ironman4x4.com/collections/toyota-tundra-lift-kits • Bumpers & armor: https://www.ironman4x4.com/collections/exterior-parts • Camping & shelter: https://www.ironman4x4.com/collections/camping Looking forward to being part of the community.

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.
