A 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 has a standard towing capacity of 5000 pounds, requiring a tongue weight of 500. The torque is standard at 266 lbs. -ft. @ 4,000 rpm and the payload capacity is 1,285 pounds. The SUV has a good engine that produces 236 HP with the 4.0 Liter v6 and has A5-speed automatic transmission to help with towing larger loads. The higher trim levels with a towing package will be able to tow up to 7,000 lbs. It may also be worthwhile to add an aftermarket transmission cooler to keep the transmission at peak performance and not cause any damage from overheating with the extra force it needs to pull the load.
