All new trailers have a yellow sticker with the actual weight (uvw) as it left the factory, usually found on the screen door or in a cupboard. These weights can vary quite a bit from brochure numbers. Don't take the dealers word. Have them take a picture of the actual sticker for the specific tt and email to you.
On a side note, you're going to need to upgrade the receiver on your 4Runner. The stock one is only bolted to the cross member and is not rated, or strong enough, for use with a weight distributing hitch (which you will need with that tt). You'll want the one that bolts to the frame. It came on most V8 4Runners and the Lexus 470. Curt also makes a really nice aftermarket one. They are easy to install. Hardest part is accessing the bolts to get the old one off.
