Can you tow a toyota 4runner. The 2020 toyota 4runner is a stunning three row suv. If this helps ive been towing a coachmen 21tqx at3600 dry weight for 8 yesars with a 2011 toyota 4runner v6 17 wheels. V8s already come with the external cooler and wdh so to answer your question yes the tranny is designed to hold up against the 4500 lbs you are talking about.
In the case of a toyota 4runner with a 5000 pound towing capacity you can get away with buying a class 3 hitch that supports up to 7500 pounds. However this does not mean your 4runner will be able to tow 7500 pounds and simply implies thats what the hitch itself is capable of towing. Learn about the towing and payload capacities here.
Yes the 4runner has a truck body and the highlander a car body so i could see why the 4runner would be the preferable one for towing. My wife who made the reservation did not see the warning that you have to disconnect the driveshaft to tow it and the guy at the uhaul place never said anything about it so i just put it in neutral and towed it with the front wheels on the dolly. A 4runner v6 can tow 6400 lbs with a weight distributing hitch installed and if planning to do lots of towing of any weight a v6 should have the external tranny cooler installed.
I recently moved and rented a uhaul with tow dolly for my 2002 toyota 4runner 4wd automatic. I use a blue ox weight distribution sway control system and have not had any problems. Most v6 models can tow up to 5000lbs and most v8 models can tow up to 7300lbs.
The 4runner is capable of many things. Its just so hard to figure it all out though since now im seeing that the 4runner technically can only tow 4700 while theyre saying a fully loaded highlander xle can tow 5000.
