No Toyota can be towed 4-down without modifications. Been there, done that.
There is a person here on rv.net who does tow his Tacoma 4-down but has a driveshaft disconnect that has been pretty much error free. However, have read several post of people who also have drive shaft disconnects but have had a LOT of problems. So be aware.
Good luck

gee, if they are as wonderful as folks here would claim, I wonder why remco dropped them? I believe they also dropped the one for front wheel drive vehicles.
