tow hitch class

Hey, So I bought a 1994 4runner not to long ago and i was wondering what class tow hitch comes on it? I was wondering because I have a dirt bike hauler kind of like the one pictured below (this one is a single, i have a double.) and was wondering if the 4runner tow hitch could handle carrying two full size dirt bikes. Class 3-4 is required.

i would say yes...i mean the tounge weight can't be more than 800lbs right?..

i've seen some pretty big loads towed with 4runner's and trucks..all with class III (i believe..maybe class IV whichever is heavier duty) and the tounge weight was more than 1000lbs..lol

I thought the 'factory' tow hitch was a ball on the bumper?
If you've got a frame mounted receiver, it's likely Class III, and should be fine for what you want. Only down side would be the added weight being carried by the rear coils.
