The Sienna’s payload capacity ranges from 1,145 pounds to 1,515 pounds, as we’ve listed below. Payload, or the maximum weight a vehicle can carry, varies with the amount of equipment and options in a vehicle. Payload is sacrificed as the Sienna gains all-wheel drive or heavy multimedia and stereo equipment. A bare-bones Sienna CE with front-wheel drive has a higher payload capacity than a fully loaded Sienna Limited with AWD.
