Have you checked your Owner's Manual? It should say in there.

According to cars.com all V-6 4Runners had a maximum trailer weight of 5,000
lbs. Are you sure you have 4:55 gears? For the V-6, either 3.91 or 4.10 was
standard depending upon model. 4.10 and 4.30 were optional on V-6 models.

My '95 4Runner V6/Auto had a max 3500 lbs. My '00 Ltd V6/Auto has a max
5000 lbs. These are weights from the manual.

My guide says 3,500lbs ('93 3L SR5 Auto).
But there is no way in the world my 4Runner has (or every had) the
power to pull that kind of load on anything but a local non-highway
trip. I have and pull around a boat/trailer that weighs right at
2,000 and add to that a backend full of stuff and well my 3.0L 150 HP
motor is breathing really hard.
I just got back from a 1,800 mile trip two weeks ago. Half of that
drive was pulling a 1,300 lbs camper with about 500 lbs of gear.
Going 60 on the flat was a moderately hard push... went down to 8 mpg
at that load and speed. Going over 60 mph on the flat was a full
throttle foot-in-floor task. A main observation for me was that I
could not really overcome the wind factor of the camper with just 150
hp unless had a down hill or tailwind. Pulling something with a really
low wind profile would be a different matter.
And what about stopping with 3,500 lbs of extra weight behind? That
has got to be at least 75% of your GVW. Stopping length will be
double... and if you need a panic stop... well it might be safer to
jump out of the window.
In my opinion with experience pulling 2,000lbs boat/trailer.... or
unless you plan on not going over 50 mph or stick with comparatively
local trips... I would recommend you not get anywhere close to the max
of your towing capacity.

Any trailer I will be pulling will be less then 75 miles and will have
trailer brakes. I appreciate all the responces. I know my mileage
will drop when pulling and my prefered camper would be a pop up ( less
wind resistance ). thank you for all your imputs. >> Stay informed about: Tow capacity |
