Pickup Rear axle payload / GVWR / GAWR ratings, Hilux, Tacoma, T-100
I am looking for a rear axle for one of my projects and trying to get some more info on them. I am trying to find out the payload and GAWR / or weight capacity of the rear axle. I am specifically looking for IFS pickup and early Tacoma info but other info for other axles is welcome. Maybe we can get enough info here to put it in the Q&A section.
I am looking at a 2000 Tacoma axle I found for cheap with 140K miles and 4.56 gears. I may use it for my 1992 PU if it does not fit the bill, but I am thinking of putting it under my camper.

The camper originally came with a 5 lug narrow pre ifs rear axle with 8" drum breaks. I am pretty sure this was a 1/2 tone axle and it was not a full floater. It managed to hold up for 26 years fine but I want to upgrade a bit and want to make sure what I put under it is at least as strong or stronger.
I can't seem to find a 1 tone axle so the Tacoma axle may be the next best match. I know the R&P is stronger because of the truss on the third member and it is a little wider (60") than ifs axle (58"), so it will match my FJ60 axle up front for width (60").
Here is what I have for data so far after searching all over the Internet:
Toyota axle payload ratings:
1990 one tone = 2200 lbs. off of a forum
1992 one tone = 2520 lbs.
1992 T-100 one tone = 2580 lbs.
1989-95 hilux = 1200 - 1400? lbs.
2000 Tacoma = 1568 - 1989 lbs. off of a car web site PickupTruck.com - 2000 Toyota Tacoma Profile
Some of these # I do not know where they got so if something is off / wrong numbers please let me know the correct ones.
These are right off my 1992 22re standard cab pickup.
1992 pickup GVWR = 5350 lbs.
1992 pickup GAWR front = 2600 lbs.
1992 pickup GAWR rear = 3000 lbs.
I found some good info here on the tacomas http://www.trdoffroad.com/articles/pdf/00_tacoma.pdf
40Habits from another post gave me his info for his 04 Tacoma.
GVWR = 5104
GAWR front = 2650 lbs.
GAWR rear = 2800 lbs.
These are off my 84 FJ60:
GVWR = 5360 lbs.
GAWR front = 3065 lbs.
GAWR rear = 3220 lbs.
Looked in a nice guys door today to get the GAWR rear info on a 2008? Tacoma 4 door short bed.
GAWR rear = 3110 lbs.
Also what makes the rating? I know vehicle weight and probably springs contribute but wondering about bearing size and axle shaft, if there were any changes in the 90's pickups to gen 1 Tacomas.
I could not find any info on my camper as far as a GVWR or axle ratings.
I Looked on my wifes 98 Ford F150 just to compare.
GVWR = 6250 lbs.
GAWR front = 3500 lbs.
GAWR rear = 3600 lbs.
Would not mind getting some of these numbers on the t-100s, one tone trucks, full floating axles, and other Toyotas out there for the database.
Everyone likes a picture so here is one before I swapped out the rear axle with 31's on the front. It is now SOA in the rear with a 90-ish rear axle 4cyl rear end (2 bearing carrier) and 235/75/15 = 29's.
All info welcome,
Thanks
