The 2000 Toyota 4Runner comes with either a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine or a 3.4-liter V6. These engines produce 150 horsepower at 4800 rpm and 183 horsepower at 4800 rpm, respectively. The torque is rated at 177 lb-ft at 4000 rpm and 217 lb-ft at 3600 rpm. With a towing capacity ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 pounds, it can easily tow a camper or motorboat. The payload capacity ranges from 1,275 to 1,810 pounds. The maximum tongue weight is 500 pounds, meaning the total trailer weight should ideally be around 3,333 pounds to keep the load balanced between 9 to 15 percent of the trailer weight.
