2004 Toyota Tundra
The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2004 Toyota Tundra is 7,200 lb, the top of 21 rows transcribed from Toyota’s 2004 Toyota Tundra specifications (brochure spec sheet). That row is printed for the 4.7L V8 (i-Force), Regular Cab, 4WD, 3.91 axle, Regular Cab SR5 V8, V8 Towing Package. Most configurations are rated lower: 20 of the 21 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2004 are below 7,200 lb. Across 21 manufacturer chart rows for 2004, ratings run conventional 4,700 lb to 7,200 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 7,200 lb conventional maximum is 720 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Questions
- How much can a 2004 Toyota Tundra tow?
- The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2004 Toyota Tundra is 7,200 lb, the top of 21 rows transcribed from Toyota’s 2004 Toyota Tundra specifications (brochure spec sheet). That row is printed for the 4.7L V8 (i-Force), Regular Cab, 4WD, 3.91 axle, Regular Cab SR5 V8, V8 Towing Package. Most configurations are rated lower: 20 of the 21 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2004 are below 7,200 lb.
- Did Tundra towing change for 2004?
- Compare the cited 2004 figures on this page with the 2003 record. They are stored separately.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 7,200 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 4.7L V8 (i-Force), Regular Cab, 4WD, 3.91 axle, Regular Cab SR5 V8, V8 Towing Package.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2004 Tundra?
- At the cited 7,200 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 720 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
