Tow capacity

I just got a 1990 4Runner would like to put a hitch on it and want to
know how much it can tow safely. It has the 6cyl motor, manual
tranny, and 4:55's in the diffs. thank you in advance

#2

Have you checked your Owner's Manual? It should say in there.

According to cars.com all V-6 4Runners had a maximum trailer weight of 5,000
lbs. Are you sure you have 4:55 gears? For the V-6, either 3.91 or 4.10 was
standard depending upon model. 4.10 and 4.30 were optional on V-6 models.
