Prose overview

The 2025 Toyota Tundra carries a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class V hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2025 Toyota Tundras on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
