Tare weight x 3 = capacity
Of course if you want to go bigger you can by consulting a decent engineer.

That's for NA engines. For forced induction, the multiplier is 2.5.

Yes you are correct. But as I said, any decent engineer can engineer a large engine in a small car.

A Hilux is a completely different kettle of fish because it has a full chassis, which means you can get away with practically anything. The rules above apply to unibody construction vehicles, ie practically all passenger cars built since the 50's.
