How to read these numbers
Towing capacity is the manufacturer's maximum trailer weight for a lightly loaded truck. In practice payload runs out first: every passenger, every item in the bed, and the trailer's tongue weight (typically 10 to 15 percent of trailer weight) count against the n/a lb payload and the GVWR of your configuration.
Where GCWR is shown as a dash, Toyota does not publish a combined rating for that configuration; use GVWR and the towing figure together.

Does the 2024 Toyota 4Runner need a tow package to reach its maximum rating?

Can a 2024 Toyota 4Runner tow a travel trailer?
A configuration rated at 5,000 lb can handle a trailer with a loaded weight of roughly 4,000 lb while keeping a 20% safety margin, provided passengers, cargo and tongue weight stay within the n/a lb payload. Run your exact numbers in the towing calculator.
