On the 2026 Toyota TACOMA, the 2WD configuration tows more — up to 6,500 lbs versus 6,400 lbs for 4WD, a difference of 100 lbs. The 2WD variant's advantage comes from a lower curb weight, which directly increases available towing capacity.

The tongue weight limit for the 2026 Toyota TACOMA ranges from 640–650 lbs depending on configuration.

Exceeding the tongue weight limit can cause trailer sway and loss of steering control even when within the max tow rating.
