I looked up the 4Runner weight-3760 pounds+2200 pounds for the trailer=5960 pounds. Then add in 300 pounds for tools etc. and 120 pounds for gas it comes out to almost 6500 pounds. Nicely done!

I towed my 31' Airstream about 250 miles (5300lbs dry), with evrything two people need to live in said Airstream fulltime for two years, plus approx 1500 lbs of tools including a full job box on living room floor of trailer with my LX which was also full to the roof with tools. Probably 8000 lbs total load... Not something I would choose to do regularly, but it towed it fine. I am a semi truck driver part time so I know how to handle the weight. I also know that the US tow ratings are low compared to the rest of the world. Must be a liability thing?? Pics below of trailer, LX and destination...

I've found varying values for the curb weight as well. 1995 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4dr SUV 3.0L V6 4x4 5-speed Manual Features and Specs specifies it at 4105lbs. That brings the weight up to 6725, the high end of the spectrum I was looking at. Either way, it was heavy!

Upon further inspection, the source of the leak on the 3VZ-E is a MISSING expansion plug.
