I towed with an '03 V6 and an '04 V8 4Runner. Started with a 10' pup then a 19' 3600lbs hybrid. Finished with a 26' 5k bunkhouse with the V8. They were good reliable tow vehicles that towed well, within their rated capacities. The 26'er was getting a bit long for the short wheelbase 4Runner though.
I don't have experience with the new generation T4R but it has basically the same 4.0l engine as the older model. A little more power now and mated to a tranny with more gears should make it better than what I had.
The only note I can add is that the stock T4R hitch is not rated, or recommended, to be used with a WD hitch. It is simply bolted to the rear cross member which isn't designed for the stress. If you want to use a WD hitch you should get a frame mounted hitch.
Good to know. I will check into this.
