The 2002 Toyota Tacoma was available in many different models so Your weight limit is going to vary depending on which configuration Your truck is in. Overall the maximum towing capacity for this truck is going to range somewhere between 3500 and 5000 pounds. Models with the standard 4Cylinder engine will be at the lower end of this spectrum while models with the more powerful V6 will be at the higher end. The payload capacity also varies between 1375 and 1830 pounds. This will again be one that favors models with the larger engine but also trucks with a longer bed. The torque output varies from engine to engine but overall will be between 160 to 220 lb-ft.
