How has that experience been? I’m planning to live in my Tacoma this summer too while saving for a house

Op will you sell for cash or only trade?

Sorry to hijack, but are you trying to sell this for cash too?

If you were closer to Utah I'd come buy this. Even slightly considering the 1500 mile drive haha

The camper itself would likely be around 1,200 lbs max. But after gear sufficient for full time living, food, water and a human I'm generously rounding to 2k lbs all in.

Why come on here to be rude? Obviously it would still be over payload, which most people carrying camper are. It would just be less over capacity, and some people on here may have experience with a Tundra in knowing how it does when overloaded a bit.

If I were to buy a 2nd gen access cab, 4x4 Tundra with a payload capacity of 1,480 lbs do you think I could get away with having it loaded down full time with around 2,000 lbs of camper + supplies by doing things like removing all the rear seats, tailgate (would have a slide in camper so no need...

Did they seriously release a "specs" page that only includes 3 basic things? What is the payload capacity, the largest lacking factor on the Tundra?

I've been looking for a Ford F250 with the 6.2L V8 for a few months now to carry a slide in cabover camper for full-time living, but just today went and looked at this 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with the 6.0 V8, 130k miles and 4x4. I am considering buying it instead. I do live in the rust...

beautiful work! i’m just below you in utah. maybe we’ll cross paths one day!

Yeah! I see so many doing it and I've talked to many of them and they say no problems. But snapping a truck frame I just paid $25,000 for would sure ruin my day. I'm so torn between the Tundra I want and the F250 I'm told I need. But anyway I'll stop hijacking this thread now

I'm talking a 150 lbs guy living in it full time in a pop up slide in camper that never leaves the truck bed

how much do you realistically think a 2nd gen toyota tundra could carry as payload safely loaded full time?

yeah after seeing how 95% of people i know treat their vehicles i generally assume most people have totally neglected proper maintenance and driven like lunatics. skipping every other oil change and redlining it out of every stoplight in town seem to be the average person’s way of caring for...

Yeah, I really don't like the idea of buying one with so many miles. I may still get lucky and find something lower mileage but truck prices are insane right now. Or I may end up taking out a tiny loan to cover the difference in my cash budget to buy something with lower mileage. A small loan...

Your rig is exactly what I want! Is that flatbed custom? Beautiful setup and very good to hear it's treated you well!

@BajaSurfRig great info, thanks! i had abandoned caring about mpg due to the nature of the build, but 11-14 mpg is pretty good sounding. i didn't think i'd even see 10 mpg haha

I'm trying to settle on a truck to carry a slide in cabover camper which I will live out of full time. I'm a Toyota guy because of their reliability and thought I could get away with a 2nd gen Tundra, but at 1,395 lb. payload capacity, full time living supplies are guaranteed to put me way over...

Thanks, man. For this, and for the truck advice. It means a lot. I know there are those of out there who see a path to happiness other than buying it. It's good to know you're not alone in that sometimes.
