Official-source quick answer

Toyota states 2024 Tacoma maximum towing is rated at 6,500 lb on SR5 i-FORCE and TRD PreRunner XtraCab grades. The highest conventional towing row extracted here is 6,500 lb. That is not a universal rating; it depends on the exact engine, axle ratio, cab, bed, drivetrain, tow equipment, payload, and hitch setup.

Use the driver-door payload label and owner manual because hybrid, cab, bed, trim, and package selections change payload. Toyota's 2024 Tacoma eBrochure, Weights and Capacities table (p. 29): tow rating, maximum tongue weight, GVWR and payload by grade. GCWR is not published there; use the owner's manual.
