Be aware the Toyota differs from other manufacturers with regards to the way they list towing capacity. This discussion has been hashed out many times on these and other forums.

The short version is, check out all the vehicle ratings, not just towing capacity. This is because you may have cargo capacity in the TV that does not take away from the tow rating. Other manufacturers tend to take the max weight rating of the TV, subtract the curb weight, and call that the tow rating--any cargo will thus take away from that. Toyotas tend to have some extra "room" in there--but again, I've not seen the numbers for your vehicle.
