    I have a 16ft camper trailer wit a GVWR of 4325 LBS. I know the towing capacity of my 4Runner is 5000LBS. Is that realistic? Does anyone else out there pull a similar trailer?

    There are a handful of threads discussing towing with the 5th gen.

    Yes, it will get the job done. Take your time, don't go over 65 MPH, and keep it in S4.

    You're going to want a brake controller, as well. There are some popular options mentioned around here somewhere.
