Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Toyota Tacoma carry half a cord of wood?
Volume-wise, half a cord of loose wood barely fits in a 5ft Tacoma bed. However, half a cord of green oak weighs 2,400 lbs, which severely overloads a Tacoma's 1,150 lb payload capacity. Stick to 1/4 cord (~0.25 cords) per trip.
