Towing Capacity of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma and Potential Upgrades

Went on my First trip after Installing the Peak Summit kit! This includes their upper control arms to correct the caster angle, two spacer options for the rear, a front spring spacer and front strut spacer all resulting in about 2'' of lift. I personally got the bigger lift option in the rear so the truck is level with all my gear in the back. I think this is a great option to get a lift while not spending crazy money. I really just wanted some simple spacers since I already bought the off road version of the truck with the factory piggy back shocks. The ride is still great, makes the truck sit really nice after all the added weight and has the proper proportions now after also adding 35's. All in all really recommend their kit if you're not looking to spend too much money but still want a nice ride, good looks and some added clearance for the trail.

View attachment IMG_9117.jpegHi everyone,

I’m curious about the towing capacity of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma and any possible modifications to increase it. From what I’ve read, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds when properly equipped, which is quite impressive for its class.

Here are some details I’ve found:

Standard Towing Capacity: The base model offers a towing capacity of around 3,500 pounds, while the TRD Pro and other trims with the towing package can reach up to 6,800 pounds.
Engine Options: The available 3.5L V6 engine provides the power needed for heavier loads, especially when paired with the right towing package.
Questions for the Group:

Have you towed anything near the Tacoma’s maximum capacity? How did it perform?
Are there any aftermarket upgrades or modifications you recommend to enhance towing capability?
What are your experiences with towing equipment like weight distribution hitches or brake controllers?
Looking forward to your insights and recommendations!
