Also, for what it's worth, I have read Tundra uses a more stringent SAE standard for payload testing. I will say I currently tow a single axle camper with UVW 2893 always with 36 gallons water (and typically a bed loaded with gear!) from the house and can't hardly tell it's back there. The manufacturer claims 295lb hitch weight but I think you're saying this is actually 376lbs.
Not trying to disagree with anything said here! - just more info from my research and experience.
EDIT - I have read the payload number includes a tank of gas and 2 150lb passengers as well. A tank of gas is substantial - I have a 38 gallon tank.

As Marshall pointed out, there really isn't any "testing" that makes Toyota's numbers better than the big 3. GVW - Actual truck weight = payload.
