   Given the tow capacity and that it is a V8, you should not have a problem. However, don't let me stop you from purchasing a newer vehicle. I was towing with a Ford Escape Ecoboost 2L and it handled the mountains. The V8 in the 4 Runner should do well. I now tow with a Frontier 4L V6 and have been wanting to get something with more power as the naturally aspirated V6 does lack in the mountains. My tow rating is 6100 lbs. I'd like to upgrade also, but I haven't found the right buy yet.

	Just purchased an R Pod 192 and plan to pull it with a 2004 V8 4 Runner that has a towing capacity of 7000 lbs. I have an equalizer hitch, but wonder if this vehicle can handle this unit? Considering a newer Tacoma, Tundra or F150. I live in Western Colorado, so we will definitely have some serious pulls up mountain passes.
