I don't mean to pile on, but that is especially true because the FJ is a short wheelbase vehicle at 106 inches. And although it is advertised as having a towing capacity of 5000 pounds, the Toyota web site's LEGAL DISCLAIMER coyly notes that "The maximum you can tow depends on the total weight of any cargo, occupants and available equipment." In other words, that 5000-pound tow rating is reduced, pound for pound, by the weight of any factory-installed options on the FJ, any after-market options, the weight of the passengers, the weight of any cargo you were carrying in the back seat or the wayback, and even the weight of the hitch and any associated equipment.
I think the conclusion we all are reaching is "Glad you are still with us. You probably shouldn't do that again."
