How Much can a 2025 Toyota Tundra tow
The 2025 Toyota Tundra has impressive towing abilities, changing with your choice. Finding the right truck for your needs is key. Visit Della Toyota in Plattsburgh, New York, to find the perfect Tundra for you.
Several factors affect towing capacity. Your trim, cab style, bed length, and drivetrain matter. These details show how much weight you can tow safely.

Payload Capacity and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
Payload and towing go together. The SR and SR5 Double Cab can carry up to 1,940 pounds in the bed with RWD and a 6.5-foot bed.
Knowing these numbers helps plan your hauls:
- Payload affects towing: More in the bed means less towing capacity
- GVWR sets limits: This rating is your truck’s total weight limit
- Proper distribution matters: Balance payload and trailer for safe driving
- Equipment impacts capacity: Extras can cut down payload
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is your truck’s safe operating weight. It includes the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.
These specs together make a strong hauling system. With the right payload and towing, your truck is ready for any job.

2025 Toyota Tundra Engine Options and Towing Performance
The 2025 Toyota Tundra‘s engines are top-notch for hauling. Toyota offers two engines for different towing needs. Each engine has the power needed for heavy loads.
Looking for a reliable truck or a fun weekend hauler? DellaToyota in Plattsburgh has the right Tundra for you. We have many trim levels with both engine choices.
Twin-Turbo V6 Engine Specifications
The standard engine is a 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6. Higher trims have up to 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. The SR trim has 358 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque.
This engine’s design gives great low-end torque. The turbochargers work fast to provide power when needed. This makes merging with heavy trailers safer and easier.
The engine is made of aluminum to save weight but stay durable. It uses advanced direct injection for better fuel use during towing.
Hybrid System Towing Capabilities
The i-FORCE MAX 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid is Toyota’s strongest Tundra engine. It makes 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. The electric motor helps with instant torque for heavy loads.
This hybrid doesn’t cut down on the trailer weight capacity. It actually improves towing and fuel economy. The electric motor helps during turbo lag for smoother power.
The hybrid is great for city towing. It responds quickly to electric motor power, making city driving with trailers easier. It’s perfect for contractors who tow in the city.
Transmission and Drivetrain Impact on Towing
All 2025 Tundras have a 10-speed ECT-i automatic transmission. This transmission is designed for efficient towing. It keeps the engine in the best power range for towing.
Choosing between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive changes the trailer weight limit. Four-wheel drive models tow less because they’re heavier. But, 4WD gives better traction on slippery surfaces.
The transmission has a tow/haul mode for trailer work. It adjusts shifts and engine braking for downhill driving. This reduces brake wear and keeps control over the trailer.

Advanced Towing Features and Technology
The 2025 Toyota Tundra brings a new level of towing technology. It’s packed with smart systems that make hauling heavy loads easier and safer. These features work together to give you confidence when towing a boat, RV, or work trailer.
At Della Toyota in Plattsburgh, New York, we invite you to explore our inventory. Experience these remarkable towing technologies yourself. Our team can show you how these systems improve your towing performance.
Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 Trailer Assistance
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 system has special features for towing. It helps keep a safe distance when towing a trailer. The system adjusts for your trailer’s length and weight.
Key safety features include:
- Blind Spot Monitor with Trailer Coverage that extends monitoring to your trailer’s blind spots
- Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist for precise maneuvering
- Panoramic View Monitor System providing 360-degree visibility around your truck and trailer
- Premium Tow Mirrors with integrated turn signals and spotlights
Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control
These systems are great for launching boats at steep ramps or navigating tough terrain. Multi-Terrain Select offers different driving modes for various surfaces. Choose from Sand, Mud, Rock, or other terrain-specific settings.
Crawl Control is like cruise control for off-road situations. It keeps a steady speed as low as 1 mph. This feature is helpful when backing down boat ramps or climbing steep grades with your trailer.
Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and Tow/Haul Mode
The integrated trailer brake controller eliminates the need for aftermarket installations. You can adjust trailer brake intensity directly from your dashboard controls. This ensures optimal braking performance between your truck and trailer.
Tow/Haul Mode changes your Tundra’s behavior when hauling heavy loads. It modifies transmission shift points to maintain power on hills. It also uses engine braking to reduce wear on your brake pads during descents.
Visit our DellaToyota showroom to see how these features work in real-world towing. Our knowledgeable staff can demonstrate these features and help you choose the perfect Tundra for your needs.
Trailer Sway Control System
The Trailer Sway Control system automatically detects dangerous trailer movement. When it senses swaying, the system applies individual wheel brakes and adjusts engine power. This quick response helps you maintain control in challenging conditions like crosswinds or emergency maneuvers.
The system works silently in the background, constantly monitoring your trailer’s behavior. Most drivers never notice it’s working until they need it most. This technology gives you peace of mind on long highway trips or in unpredictable weather conditions.
