I will not be towing something that heavy again with a 4runner. Even my friends 5.7 Tundra had major issues towing that trailer at 7 tons. I think its very dangerous to attempt to tow a trailer that heavy with anything less than a 1 ton or a dually truck. It just doesn't feel right with the trailer pushing the rear of the truck all over the place when you go over bumps. The trailer and everything in it have been sold so I will stick to towing much lighter things, or nothing at all.
