Carrying capacity is vehicle-specific
Options, passengers, cargo and trailer tongue load matter. Use the vehicle's own label value when you want TowGauge to complete the payload check.

2017 Toyota 4Runner towing capacity
TowGauge has 5 source-backed 2017 4Runner towing records live from Toyota Canada. The calculator uses the selected record and leaves vehicle-specific carrying capacity unresolved until the actual vehicle value is available.
Payload stays tied to the actual vehicle
Passengers, cargo, options and trailer tongue load consume carrying capacity. TowGauge uses a vehicle-specific value when available rather than filling that check with a brochure maximum.

2017 4Runner towing FAQ
What is the maximum towing capacity of a 2017 Toyota 4Runner in Canada?
The largest 2017 4Runner figure represented on this page is 5,000 lb. Exact configurations can carry lower ratings, so TowGauge applies the selected Toyota Canada record rather than one model-wide number.
Does every 2017 4Runner have the same towing capacity?
No. Towing capacity can vary by configuration, drivetrain, powertrain, cab, bed and equipment. TowGauge stores the source-backed configuration instead of applying one headline number to every vehicle.
Why doesn't TowGauge auto-fill Toyota payload from a brochure?
Vehicle-specific carrying capacity should come from the actual vehicle label when that check matters. TowGauge leaves that value unresolved rather than substituting a model-wide comparison figure.
