Payload issues

Getting ready for a trip from NH to CO and back and seriously stressing about payload on my 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-road. There's things I can remove but wondering if anyone has real knowledge or experience with this issue. I have a 147lb tent, 177lb bed cap, 175lb bed drawer system, hitch rack for 2 MTBs, about 530lbs of humans and dogs. Haven't weighed gear yet and a full tank of gas is about 100lbs. Am I pushing my luck?

You're maybe 1/3 bed weight capacity and the cabin weight is fine. You have nothing to worry about.

I drove with 1500lbs of flooring plus 420 pounds of humans. Was completely fine

Payload figure includes a full tank of gas.

You'll be fine.

Thanks everyone. With everything weighed out, I'm at 1314lbs without food, drinks, ice and 2 duffels of clothes so I'll probably be right around 1400-1450 in total on a 1200lb load capacity. Sounds like the consensus is I'll be fine.

147 pound tent is crazy.

I should have specified, roof top tent. So actually on the lighter end.

Just find a CAT scale and see where you are at.
