I have a stock 2002 4x4 4runner sr5 auto. I am thinking of getting a stock sami with 31's and would like to know if I can safely tow this. I have read that the sami should be about 1800-2100 lbs, hopefully the lower end of that.

I live in winston salem and would be towing it to URE and around central S.C. when at school.

Thanks
 
The max towing capacity is 5000 lbs. If I was able to keep a sami at 2000 lbs, and get a trailer that weights ~1900 lbs, Would I be safe towing 4000 lbs. Or is all of this wrong?
 
With a light trailer and brakes on at least one axle, I think you will be fine.
 
I tow a feather lit trailer open with a 91 runner with a heavy exo cage and 39" tires with my limited runner...It is no power machine, but 2-3 hour trips are fine on it. Trailer breaks are the biggest thing. I'm guessing rig weight 4000lbe and my trailer is around 1000 or 1200lbs
