Have you tested that bumper towing? Will it be rated to tow the factory 5000 pounds with a 500 pound tongue weight?

On the towing, the tow hole (??) is part of the bumper. He told me if I wanted to do any real towing to let him know and he would build the supports like Slee's for the Land Cruiser towing. Kind of like this:
The above picture is my 80 series Land Cruiser. The 4 runner is my daughters and she won't be towing so I didn't add that. Seems like it would do fin on flat land, but for heavy loads or mtn driving the extra supports should be added.
It would be fine for a bike or ski rack.

The younger daughter just got an 80 series Land Cruiser with 160,000 miles. You think that and the fact my wife has an 06 4runner means I like Toyota's?

My concern always shifts back to the frame and the extra stress added by the tire carrier. I wonder if some frame bracing might be in order for that much towing weight and a tire carrier?
