What is the 4Runner's towing capacity?

• A. 7,000lbs
• B. 6,500lbs
• C. 6,000lbs
• D. 5,500lbs

Answer: (C)

Towing capacity is the maximum weight a vehicle can pull safely when properly equipped. It depends on the engine, cooling, transmission, frame, brakes, suspension, and the towing package.

For the 4Runner, when you have the factory towing package, the official rating is up to six thousand pounds. That makes six thousand pounds the best fit among the options, since it reflects the maximum the vehicle is typically rated to tow with proper equipment. The other numbers exceed or fall short of the common official rating for many configurations, so they aren’t the standard towing limit you’d rely on. Always verify the exact rating for your specific year, trim, and equipment, and follow guidelines on hitch setup and tongue weight.
