2 wheel drive 1 ton toyotas
can someone explain to me my toyota made a 2 wheel drive that says one ton one the tailgate when toyotas are not even a true 1/2 ton. whats with that i have never understood that. Im sure the dont actully have a payload of 2000 lbs.

I thought some of them were designed for hauling a camper of some sort. I'm pretty sure there are some older small Toyota trucks that have a shell as part of their body, and a heavy duty axle out back.
edit: found one Link of the ADD 1.clean title,no accidents. 2.22RE engine with manul transmission.(will run forever) 3.one pice fiber glass body. (no leaks) 4.everything works in the RV. 5.1 ton rear axle. 6.three way fridge. 7.propane stove and four burner. 8.air adjustable rear air bag suspension. 9.Dual Batteries w/Automatic Charger. 10.NEW subaru 9hp engine 4500W generator with electric start(never been used!!!) 11.NEW 500lb cargo carrier(for the 150lb generator) 12.two water heater.(one new electric water heater) 13.upgrade all position lights to LED. 14.10 cd changer. 15.roof ac is very cold.(front cabin has fan and heater only) http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/3418/picture030pt1.jpg http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/6...ture027ip7.jpg |
Looks like some kind of growth on the small cab....
|
my dads old 79' flat bed could haul a ton if needed.
|
Oh they made 1 tons, and dualies. Pretty beefed up mini truck chassis back in the day. Imagine hauling with a 22RE, lol!
|
wow guess i have never really noticed those as being what it is. wonder if they put heavy duty springs under those. it seems if u put that much weight or even a tractor load of rock in the bed of any 2 wheel drive toyota the bumper would be nearly dragging on the ground.
|
A E-friend of mine has a 88 staked bed 1 ton dualie, it actually is a totally stretched frame and about 12 feet long. He said he once put a ton of stuff on it and it was slow but damn it went..
|
This is what i was refering to (hope pic shows up) They say 1 ton on the bed. hard to believe thats the same as a F350
|
Oh they have a HD suspension and can haul 1 ton but it aint easy.
|
I've carried around 1800lbs of scrap metal in my longbed with stock suspension at the time. It's a good 25 miles to the scrapyard, 50% uphill. No troubles, felt like it coulda took at least another 200lbs easy.
|
Does it count that I loaded a compressor that weighs about 800lbs, various shop tools and whatnot probably maxing out my payload of 2150lbs or so. All I know is we drove 20 miles and the rear squatted a bit but she drove fine aside from knowing I had a ton of junk in there.

I'd say it sets a fine example. These trucks will do way more than alot of folks might imagine.

I like better the fact that they say max towing capacity isnt even 5klbs for some of Yotas. I yanked out in a mudhole a 70 something fullsize bronco that had to weigh at least that or more! WITH EASE! |

Our crew cab, short box, F250 is rated at 11000 GVWR. Considering she tips the scales at 7500lbs, that allows 3500lbs of cargo to be loaded in. Take 500 off for people, oil, diesel, etc and you have a handy 3000lb capacity in the bed, all within normal parameter and the truck will not be stressed in any way. That's a 250 crew cab! A 350 single cab is going to be able to handle 4000-4500lbs in its bed without much ado. What's even better is that the 350 will have about 650ft lbs of tq and 350hp to move that combined 6ton mass...;)

LOL Drive that puppy for a day and they'd think their 3.0's were indy cars! :D |
Well yea a real fullsize truck can handle way more than that 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and 1 ton label. Trucks back in the early days were rated that way, now a 1/2 ton can haul closet to 3.4 ton and so on.
My old F250 I put like 2500 in the bed and hauled a landscape trailer complete with mowers and gear WITH EASE. All I had was the 351 too... |

WITH EASE! Bear in mind that the primary limiting factors in a tow rating are the ability to stabilize the load at higher speeds (making sure the tail doesn't wag the dog), and most importantly: STOPPING ABILITY. Those tiny little brakes (good as they may be) aren't going to stop a 5K lb load very easily. |

1 ton Toyotas have beefed up suspension and a bigger axle. I believe the axle is basically a 4x4 axle with 5 lugs instead of 6. The capacity of the bed is 2000 lbs and it has a towing capacity of 5000 lbs. I have heard that they have a really rough ride when they are unloaded because of the heavy duty springs in a light truck. The FSM has information on two different types of brakes for 2wd trucks, so 1 tons must have better brakes. Either way, trailer brakes would be a must. I would like to have one of these trucks to use as a tow rig since it would get 30 MPG whenever the trailer is unloaded. That would make getting project cars a little cheaper. :hillbill:

Okay. To explain your question, the 1 Ton versions were made with a (7 or 8?) foot bed instead of a standard (6.4x5) bed. They had beefier frames and suspension so as to haul more, as far as I know. I've never owned or driven one. So I'm just saying, I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not. I doubt that Toyota would put "1 Ton" on it if that's not what it was made for.

I hauled this in my 82 last weekend with ease. I don't know how much it weighed but it was a fair bit. I had my toolbox full of tools in it, a pull out couch, all of my school stuff, bbq, beds, computer, stereo stuff, sat dish, computer desk and whatever else I could fit in the beast.
