We have a 1997 4Runner 4X4 V6 it's rated at 5000/500. We've towed our boat since the truck was new but it is only about 3000 lbs (and you knew it was back there) So that's why I'm wondering what an additional 1000 lbs or so would do to it. Toyota does make a supercharger for it which could be an option. Anyway just thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone has tried it.

infit----I own a 1997 4 runner in addition to a Titan we tow with. I can tell you from experience you won't be a happy camper towing with a one. While a great SUV, they are not a good tow vehicle for a number of reasons. Ist they are short on power. If towing anything above 2000 lbs you'll be full throttle and most any grade. 2nd and 3rd are the short wheel base and large balloon tires make for a very unstable TV. the slightest side wind will have you white knuckeled. A small Pop up is all I would concider towing with one.------
