2020 Toyota Tundra
The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2020 Toyota Tundra is 10,200 lb, the top of 20 rows transcribed from Toyota’s 2020 Toyota Tundra eBrochure. That row is printed for the 5.7L V8, Double Cab, Standard Bed bed, 2WD, SR grade, Tow Package. Most configurations are rated lower: 18 of the 20 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2020 are below 10,200 lb. Across 20 manufacturer chart rows for 2020, ratings run conventional 8,800 lb to 10,200 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 10,200 lb conventional maximum is 1,020 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Generation
Second generation
2020 is year 14 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.
2020 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 20 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
