How to read these numbers
Towing capacity is the manufacturer's maximum trailer weight for a lightly loaded truck. In practice payload runs out first: every passenger, every item in the bed, and the trailer's tongue weight (typically 10 to 15 percent of trailer weight) count against the 1,940 lb payload and the GVWR of your configuration.
Where GCWR is shown as a dash, Toyota does not publish a combined rating for that configuration; use GVWR and the towing figure together.
