I didn't like the 4Runner just because I thought interior ergonomics were awful for anyone above about 5'7" in height.
If I had to pick a Toyota-based SUV to tow with, I'd look more at the GX470 or LXwhatever Lexii. GX is 4Runner-y but with an interior I could live with, LX is Yukon-sized and somehow doesn't carry the brand/model cachet that the Land Cruiser does. And neither is really that expensive from what I've seen.
I had some time to wander Carmax a few weeks ago. Sat in a 2011ish LX... good lord, it's pimp. And has some actual off-road chops vs. an Expedition or Tahoe.
