Re: 73 20' - Towing Weight?
Good to know. Coming from a V8 4x4 Durango (2001) that sucks gas but can pull 7000+ lb...almost feel like I would be stepping backwards to get into a V6 4runner, but they don't offer a V8 anymore. The fuel economy does look a little better though. When I bought my Durango, I looked at 4runners and an equivalent 4runner with a v6 only got about 1 MPG better, so torque and noise it was. Different story now, it seems.
I was/am also looking at a 4x4 RAM 1500 Sport, TORQUE and NOISE! Not sure which way I will go, but options are good, and fuel economy is not a bad thing either.

Re: 73 20' - Towing Weight?
My 18 weighs less, but not by much. I am towing my 18 with a 2001 Honda Odyssey Van. It has a 3.5L V6 VTEC and pulls like a beast up the ramp. It is the stopping that is important. A V8 is a great option if MPG is close to a V6. Best thing is that the 98% of the time not towing I get 18/24 gas mileage with room for 7.

Re: 73 20' - Towing Weight?
ElBichoMalo,
The '01 4Runner was a different animal than what came out starting in '03. My buddy has a '06 with the 4.0L V6 and it's much better than the previous generation that had the 3.0 V6. My father's friend has a '03 4.0 and tows a '09 Grady 209 Adventure (walkaround) with no problems.
