¹ With the Weight-distributing hitch (hitch receiver type): the maker’s figure for the configuration with that factory option.

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration. “Tire placard” is the occupants and cargo the tire and loading placard allows, which some makers print instead of, or next to, max payload; it is not the same number.

02 / What changed

New for 2004

The 2004 Toyota 4Runner against the 2003, the previous model year we hold. Only what Toyota’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 4 sold in the 2003 are all here.
Same range as the 2003: towing and length.

The 2004 documents

3 documents behind the 2004 Toyota 4Runner’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.

These are Toyota’s published figures for the models it describes, not a weighbridge or a tape measure; your own vehicle’s options change them. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
