They add a yellow "adjustment" sticker for the per-vehicle port/dealer installed options.
This also isn’t making sense. My limited has a sticker for 27 lbs or something like that, and the only PIO is rubber floor mats!

My gas limited 4wd also says 895. It was just delivered to the dealership on the 11th. How do all of these different trims have the same payload capacity, given different curb weights?

strangely the manual says that all 2-row models are 895 and all 3-row models are something like 1160. Makes no sense to me!
3 row doesnt have the hybrid battery pack

most 2 rows are hybrids and the ones without the hybrid should have a higher payload i am guessing

I don’t think most 2-rows are hybrids. Mine certainly isn’t, and the payload should be a lot more than 895 lbs based on the curb weight and the GVWR!

I sent a request to Toyota customer care to see if they can clarify the payload specs. Not holding my breath, but that would be nice.

The question here is, if you exceed the 895 but stay well under GVWR-Curb, can they use that against you if something were to go wrong.

Thanks, and agreed. Hopefully they answer, but I'm also not optimistic that we'll get anything useful.

The manual (page 616 in mine) is clear: All 2 row models have 895 lbs capacity and all 3 row models have 1160 lbs. It seems to contradict itself and also creates a pretty large weight discrepancy depending on the trim.

It also doesn't make a lot of sense that adding a 3rd row of seats (additional weight) would increase the capacity. The battery guess is interesting, but yeah, I think most models sold are gas, whether they have 2 rows or 3, and the manual doesn't say anything about hybrid vs. gas.
