You going to trailer or flat tow the First gen?
Cool! I really thought the Tacoma would be lighter. It has a GVWR of around 5500 lb. so that only leaves you with 500 lb. of payload if you have 600 lb. of passengers. Half-ton truck?
Thanks to all who guessed! Here are the results!Member Guess % erroremsvitil1981 4,458 17.92016 3,126 29.3Dingman.1981 4,459 182016 3,127 29.3jerz4wd1981 5,420 43.42016 4,815 8.9mudmaster1981 4,785 26.62016 3,625 18kjchubby1981 4,221 11.72016 3,851 12.91981 3,851 1.92016 4,221 4.5Toyotadon1981 3,790 0.32016 4,015 9.2The correct weights are, drum roll please!1981 3,780 lbs2016 4,420 lbsToyotadon had the closest average guess accuracy of 4.75% to actual so he gets the Hat! ONLY 10 LBS OFF!! Hiya Don When is the next time you'll be by our shop? I'll keep a hat in my office for ya!Ok that was pretty fun, I'll have to think of some more ways to do something like this with this build I was thinking the Tacoma would be 500 pounds heavier. I knew my Hilux is on the light side. I built it to be light and efficient. It turned out to be 640 lbs heavier. According to some quick searches, a stock 1981 4WD weighed in at 2,975 to 3,065 lbs. So if we assume 3,000 lbs like emsvitil suggested, then I've got 800 lbs of Rock Crawling equipment. The Tacoma could potentially become close to 5,250 lbs! Holy moly! From where I come from this is pretty heavy and any weight makes it that much harder to get up a trail. Gonna be fun wheeling this Taco! Seriously can't wait!!HiluxTacomaI didn't realize I could have parked on two different cement slabs or else I would have gotten individual axle weights. Bummer.EDIT: Copied kjchubby's weights backwards!
you've reversed a bunch of the weights (mine included) for different people.................
