The latest 4Runners and Land Cruisers are rated to 6,000 lbs. The 2024 AR250 dry weight on trailer is 5,224 lbs. Gas, driver, gear, etc. and its pretty darn close to maxed out. My use case scenario is just 10-15 miles one way at sea level probably a couple times a year. I currently don't own a tow vehicle. The boat is dropped off in May and picked up in September and stays on the lake all season and that worked pretty well this year. But I'm in the market for a new vehicle anyway and if the one I get could do some limited towing that would be a bonus. I'm looking at this class of vehicle in general, and one differentiating factor is the 4Runner/Land Cruiser will tow 6,000 whereas most mid size SUVs max out at 5,000.
