I came to say, I don't know?

I'd be more worried about the driver skill then vehicle.
I drive it every year, twice, with an f350 and give or take ~15000lbs on. |

If the trailer has trailer brakes then I'd pull 5K on the interstate passes without hesitation.

Rent a Uhaul and tow your Toyota and whatever else to save your transmission.

I currently own a 2011 4Runner. It's rated to tow 5000lbs... but having owned and towed damn near everything I could hang on the back of a 1/2, 3/4 and 1-ton Chevy truck... There's no fucking way I'd consider dragging that much (5k) behind my Toyota. That's the same as a 3500lb car on a 1500lb trailer. I've done that behind a half ton pickup countless times already and it's marginally comfortable.
Probably the most weight I'd consider safe behind a Taco is about 3000lbs. Remember... the thinner air on that half of the US is 'gonna completely suck the horsepower right out of your engine. A 3000lb load will feel like 6000lbs going over the mountains. |

Sorry have to agree. |

Depends, are the condoms unused or full? Could make a difference.

That would depend on the condition of my brakes, whether or not i had trailer brakes, and how much cash I had laying around for a new transmission.

Quoted:
2nd or 3rd generation, V6 and the tow package. I'm pretty sure the 2nd generation is rated at 6500 lbs and the 3rd generation perhaps a couple of hundred pounds more. What's the most one should be comfortable with? All in, given trailer, gear, critters, passengers, dental floss and condoms. Up the mountains and braking back down the other side. Does a 5000-5500 lbs. max load seem to be a safe enough of a buffer below the rated capacity? All comments are welcomed and encouraged. Thank you for your time. Nope |

With my ex-wife you'd have enough weight capacity for about four lightly loaded nylon duffel bags and her grocery bag of chips and soda. There's your starting point.

Having towed quite a bit in the canyons around here I wouldn't feel comfortable going much higher than half the rated weight. |

Also what kind of load we talking? If it's a camp trailer that's going to drag the wind, he'll no. The wife's SUV is a V6 with 270hp, max I would pull and have is 3k. That's a Jumping Jack trailer and 4x4 atv on top with some gear.

If you want a new truck do it.
I see people doing it everyday. Apparently they want new trucks.  |

If you want to to poop your pants as that thing tries to push you off of the road on every down hill curve, go ahead and do it.

I pulled a bit over 6000lb enclosed (AKA airbrake) trailer across the US and rockies with my 5K rated 4runner, no problem. You'll have to keep a safe speed and will be in 2nd gear in some places, heading up to summit county. Downshift for engine braking and you absolutely must have trailer brakes to do it safely.
