The  2025 Toyota Tundra's towing capacity varies slightly based on the trim level and configuration.  The maximum towing capacity is 12,000 lb when properly equipped. Here's a summary of recent models: 

2025 Toyota Tundra towing capacity by trim level:

  • SR: 8,300 lbs

The first two trims are the Double Cab, while the following four are Crew Max. 

To achieve the maximum towing capacity of 12,000 lbs in a 2025 Tundra, you need to select the SR5 Double Cab with a 6.5-foot bed and rear-wheel drive (RWD), equipped with the i-FORCE 3.4-liter Twin-Turbo V-6 engine. 

The towing and payload capacities of earlier models like the 2021 and earlier Tundra are lower than the maximum ratings of recent models.   This chart provides a good visualization of the towing capacities for each year:
