2010 Toyota Tundra
The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2010 Toyota Tundra is 10,800 lb, the top of 6 rows transcribed from Toyota’s 2010 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab 4x2 eBrochure. That row is printed for the 5.7L V8, Regular Cab, Long Bed bed, 2WD, 6-speed automatic. Most configurations are rated lower: 35 of the 36 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2010 are below 10,800 lb. Across 36 manufacturer chart rows for 2010, ratings run conventional 4,800 lb to 10,800 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 10,800 lb conventional maximum is 1,080 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Generation
Second generation
2010 is year 4 of this generation (2007–2021). Full-size redesign for 2007. The 5.7L V8 defined towing for most of this long generation and was retired at the end of it.
2010 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 36 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
| Engine | Conventional | Chart rows |
|---|---|---|
| 5.7L V8 | 8,100–10,800 lb | 14 |
| 5.7L V8 FFV | 8,100–10,500 lb | 7 |
