2011 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER towing capacity

186 2-5. Driving information
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
Example on your vehicle
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity
When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) are
riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity of 1130 lb. (510
kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be
as follows:
1130 lb.  366 lb. = 764 lb. (510 kg  166 kg = 344 kg)
In this condition, if 3 more pa ssengers with the combined weight of
388 lb. (176 kg) get on , the available cargo and luggage load will be
reduced as follows:
764 lb.  388 lb. = 376 lb. (344 kg  176 kg = 168 kg)
As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount
that equals the increased weight du e to the additional occupants. In
other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus
cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on
your vehicle.

CAUTION
■
To avoid accident or injury
●The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus the weight of cargo) must not
exceed 5000 lb. (2270 kg)
● If a trailer and cargo weight over 2000 lb. (907 kg), use a sway control
device with sufficient capacity.
● The gross combined weight (sum of your vehicle weight plus its load and
the total trailer weight) must not exceed the following.
2WD models: 9200 lb. (4173 kg)
4WD models: 9500 lb. (4309 kg)
● Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
● Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining
40% in the rear.
● The tow hitch receiver installed on your vehicle must never be used on
another vehicle.
■ Hitches
●If you wish to install a trailer hitch, your Toyota dealer should be consulted.
● Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement.
● Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
● Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.
● Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce
the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is
struck from behind.
