Which model for towing

[VinceH]

I ended up buying a V8 '06 4Runner.

I wound up buying a V8 '06 4R as most of you suggested. The hitch receiver may be aftermarket, as the label on it says,

"Capacity when used as a weight carrying hitch: 7300 lbs. Max Gross wt, 730 max gross tongue weight."

And "Capacity when used as a weight distributing hitch: 7300 lb. Max gross tongue wt, 1095 lbs. max gross tongue wt."

"Consult your owner's manual for maximum towing capacity and recommended towing proceures."

That looks like the Toyota WDH receiver.
