Since you already have the 8" rear end, just swapping out the springs for the 1ton rated kind will make your truck capable of hauling that amount. Bit of caution though, they are stiff. Just a side note, there's a 1ton cab/chassis truck (2wd dually) that's been outfitted as a tow truck in Michigan City, IN. Fun to see! I'll see if I can grab a pic at some point. 1986 Pickup extracab longbed "Woody edition" SAS - 33's, 5.29's, lockright rear. 02 IS300 SportCross - my "DD" 94 2wd v6 extracab 04 Outback Wagon- wife's/family car Re: what is the weight capacity of the rte trucks [Re: Elbow_Greese] #813510 05/23/07 01:05 AM Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 51 southern indiana O oopssorry OP Getting the Wheeling Fever i would like to see that if you can find it. thanks for the info also 1986 toyota pickup rte 4wd sr5 xtracab---bone stock Re: what is the weight capacity of the rte trucks [Re: oopssorry] #813511 05/23/07 01:45 AM Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 297 St Louis T trythis Mudrunner Well make yourself a sig instead of keeping us guessing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Sold Truck: 89 DLX extra cab 4x4 22re Automatic/ New truck 97 T100 4x4 auto Sr5 Re: what is the weight capacity of the rte trucks [Re: trythis] #813512 05/23/07 02:41 AM Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 422 Iowa, USA D Dingman Mudrunner Hmm, I sold my '83 pickup to my roommate who occasionally gets a load of gravel for the driveway. He loads it up to about 1200 lbs and it doesn't squat to badly and drives OK. So, 1\2 ton is about right, based on what we see here. Paved Roads ~ Another example of wasteful government spending.

The 1-ton is 2wd only. There was never a 4wd 1-ton made. Dualies were not standard on the 1-ton. They were an option available to any truck. The above words are pre-Tacoma and T100 era.
