Im a spec nerd ? Like I said before my info comes from Dodge using my VIN and the Dodge Vin Decoder. Where are you getting your info from?
From within...
I really wish I was wrong. I did not read the whole thread though.

Hey LandCruiser, when you mention air exchange heater do you mean one that vents externally like Propex? Which heater do you have in mind?
i read your tag the same way
regarding the tundra, payload is 1620lbs, my current configuration with expedition one bumpers with twin winches frt and rear and the wedge camper top is 1000lbs, add fridge and two peeps and your close to max GVWR.. now considering alternatives like returning to stock bumpers and front winch then selling the bumpers and wedge and going with your similar setup.
the power wagon is a great alternative but i want to keep the tundra
this can drive one mad ? ?
Before you go calling out Dodge you should do more research. The thread you posted is not the same body style or year, sorry.
Phil,
As I said, I would sincerely be happy to be wrong. I wanted to buy a Dodge Power Wagon in the past for a BigFoot camper but it seems like the payload was under 2000 if I remember correctly. The thread I posted explains why the Power Wagon as a lower payload - it has to do with the factory suspension changes. I believe it applies to every year body style/year, but again I may be wrong.
You got me interested about this and I found this 2006 one on Ebay - even with a manual transmission!:

Can you share the Vin Decoder URL where you got the payload from?
Thank you
ps. Another option is to look at the door jamb sticker I believe.
no writeup, but i can grab pictures for you. When i purchased my expedition one rear bumper with swing outs i asked if they had any mount for a rear winch, they said they had a design but it wasn't on their website So i bought their cradle and it was a close enough fit i welded up old holes and redrilled. The bigger issue is making sure your winch line clears the fairlead slot on the bumper. I ended up flipping the warn VR winch for clearance. It still runs correctly but the winch line is now on top as it spools. In an open / exposed scenario this is a big no-no but being behind the bumper i see no issue. Two other items, the exp one bumper is rated for a 10k winch and i stuffed a 12k inplace and you might not have room for the spare..oh and it all weighs a tidy 300lbs! More against the GVWR.. your head must be hurting with all this GVW crap ?Thankfully we have vehicle choices to fit most needs. I love the Toyota products and own several others but the PW was a better fit going in. Hoping the future is as bright. Let us be happy it's not a Gladiator Rubicon good for only 1200lb of payload.ekk!
Do you have a write up on your rear winch?
I thought the Power Wagon came with 4.56 gears as part of the package. The decoder shows it as available but looks like this one has 3:73, am I correct?
So, does this rig feel that much bigger than a land cruiser and do you feel it will limit where you will be able to go? Considering the same type of change myself.
