Default Carrying capacity reduced

Anyone else have this sticker on their driver door sill?

I have a 2023 model.

That's such an oddly specific number.

This question and that sticker is all over Toyota and Lexus forums. Apparently it's to account for port installed options, they have to account for the added weight. Mine doesn't have one. Guess you can't have a fully loaded car and your Chihuahua too.

Very interesting, mine was reduced by 14lbs.

The trunk appliqué and the door sill lighting harness could not have weighed that much.

Just checked mine - 7 kg or 15 lbs. I have the door edge guards, carpeted floor mats (no all-weather mats here), and the dash camera. Not sure if the carpet mats affect the number or not, but I am quite certain the dash camera does.
