Well payload is the amount that it can haul, not tow, so that has never been a factor for me. I look more at the towing capacity.My 4runner has a towing capacity of 5000lbs and my boat and trailer is close to 4000 which is too close to me. It does fine, but I think it still stresses it out a bit, so now I am looking for a vehicle for a higher capacity just for the extra peice of mind.
yes I agree with all of that, but I never carry anything other than my fat self and my even larger partner. I guess if you are carrying a lot in the vehicle it is for sure something to think about.The payload is 1300 on the 4runner, and my tounge weight is about 500 lbs. So I am looking at about 1000 of payload, so I am actually closer than I would have thought.I did add airbags to the back rear springs to help keep it level. Not sure if that increased any payload or not.And hopefully soon I will have a vehicle like a Sequoia that has a lot higher payload and towing capacity.

Yep for sure something to think about, and will help me convince my wife I need a new tow vehicle
Guys just get yourselves a Chevy 2500 6L Vortex and you won't need to bother your minds with non fishing trivia. You can load the boat and truck with no worries except paying for the gas.
Yes he does..... and I'm affeared to keep up.
