Capacity and distribution

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.

(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) — (Total weight of occupants)

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 

(1) Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and

cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's

(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that

will be riding in your vehicle.

(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from

XXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-

gage load capacity.

For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will

be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available

cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400  750 (5150)

(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being

loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the

available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be

transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how

this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of

your vehicle. (P. 350)

Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your

vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.
