Yeah, Toyota says that they have "the same towing capacity". Don't believe it-- the Taco is a body-on-frame truck, Rav4 is unibody and NOT built for towing. Toyota would love to sell you the "upgraded hitch" with 4 bolts as part of the towing package, but the "standard" hitch bolts to the same frame and the two bolts are BIG. It's good for way more than 3500 lbs.

I've owned 'em both, you know.
