I know that my TV has some cargo room that does not detract from the tow rating. I don't recall the exact numbers, but I believe my vehicle has a GCWR of 8700 and a curb weight of 4400+, which leaves a bit over 4200. The tow rating is 3500, so I can put some passengers and gear in my TV and still have the full 3500 to tow. I know that other Toyota models are rated similarly. I do not know about his particular model, which is why I said he'd need to look at his own numbers.

However, "any" weight may not take away from his tow rating, as is the case with other vehicles. That's all I'm saying -- he needs to check out the specific numbers for himself, and not assume that every pound in the TV is one less pound he can tow.

I'll say it again: There are some TVs rated that way, but many Toyotas are not.
