Logically, it doesn't make sense to ignore GVWR just because the CGAWR is higher. Reducing it to absurdity, you might as well ignore all other limits because your tires are rated for a higher load. Not saying anyone will be killed, but it's the kind of thinking people fall into when they want...

Other than the Frontier/Navara, the Tacoma/Hilux is often mentioned. It may be that though they are based on the same platform, there are differences between US and rest-of-world versions. Again, I've yet to see a system by system comparison for either so we are just guessing.

I'll bet you could build him a cool custom flat bed.

I'm not confident enough in my own knowledge to say that GVWR are all bogus. I'm aware that similar vehicles are rated differently for different markets but I haven't seen a case where the vehicles have been shown to be exactly the same. I've read that some HD trucks have multiple ratings for...

Ouch, your payload is only 1072#. That's consistent with your actual scale weight, you don't have much to work with. You might consider a more capable truck or a very small trailer for your gear.

Just curious as to your original plans. Mount a camper in the bed, tow a large trailer off road or what? Bummer to have to move on after so much work.

Pretty much normal, IME. My lightly optioned F150 cc had only 1300# payload. My current Frontier has only 1160#. I think you are correct that many people ignore payload or have arrived at some justification for going over. People don't like to be told they can't do stuff. Bubba, hold my beer...

Really like the round headlights of the 1958. (y)

I agree, go with a legit bike shop brand. Trek, Specialized, Giant, REI, whatever is convenient to you. If the kid isn't impaired in some way I question the need for an ebike, exercise is good.

The 4Runner comes with "built in Japan" quality. I'd consider the hybrid for the big boost in HP and torque. Toyota knows hybrid tech.

A Tundra will run out of payload well before the max tow rating.

There are now a few Land Cruisers in stock at the half dozen dealers near Nashville and many more in transit. Not enough for discounts but they are available for those not just blowing hot air. :LOL:

Surprising number of folks here in the market for something in this price range. (y)

^^^Are you a potential buyer? :unsure:

How about some background on the vehicle, why you chose it, what you expect when completed, etc? Certainly will be more interesting than the usual pickup with lift kit and RTT.

"Ever Overland" one and the same? Link

You can easily trim a memory foam mattress with an electric knife. We bought one from Walmart and trimmed to fit our small travel trailer. It's very comfortable.

What is the weight of an empty box and what is the payload (door sticker) of your Tundra?

Payload will bite you.

No personal experience but there has been a lot of discussion on some RV forums I read. Folks add the dc to dc chargers to ensure a steady charge to travel trailer house batteries via the 7 pin. Left to their own, the smart alternators often don't do much. I haven't read of any downsides.
