2021 Toyota 4Runner maximum towing capacity

The Toyota 4Runner is an excellent choice for any driver who wants to take command of a powerful and capable SUV that is made for more than just the everyday grind. Its powerful engine, dynamic suspension, and rugged features make it ideal for taking you off the beaten path. If you need to tow something on your journeys, it is important to know how much it can tow. Read ahead for information on the 2021 Toyota 4Runner maximum towing capacity. 

What the 2021 Toyota 4Runner can haul 

There are nine available models in the 2021 Toyota 4Runner lineup: SR5, Trail Special Edition, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Venture Special Edition, Limited, Nightshade Special Edition, and TRD Pro. No matter which of these models and which available 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain you decide to go for, the 2021 Toyota 4Runner can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The 4Runner offers an integrated towing receiver hitch and wiring harness with four- and seven-pin connectors. That gives you plenty of options when it comes to what you can tow behind you—perhaps your favorite fishing vessel on a trip to the lake, or maybe a trailer packed with items on moving day.

It’s also worth noting that inside the 2021 4Runner, you can carry as much as 88.8 cubic feet of cargo behind the front row of the vehicle if you need to open it up to that much space. Otherwise, in 4Runner models equipped with three rows, you can fit nine cubic feet of cargo behind the third row. Behind the second row of seats, you’ll be able to fit 46.3 cubic feet of cargo there in models featuring seats with the sliding deck or 47.2 cubic feet behind the second row in models without the sliding deck. 

What’s the difference between the base 4Runner and the 4Runner TRD Pro?
