Well this really sucks.
Turns out that there are NO after-market hitches for the 2010 4runner. So I can't replace the factory hitch with one that is more robust for weight-distribution.
And - I got an authoritative answer from Toyota that they do not recommend weight distribution with the 2010 4Runner.
So now I have to trade in my 4Runner for a truck. I'm thinking a Ford F150. I'll open a new thread for that discussion.
I traded my Highlander which was rated for 3500 lb for the 4Runner which is rated for 5000 lb thinking I was doing the right thing. Now I find out that I was barking up the wrong tree.
