Consider this, the gross tow weight also includes what you put inside the
vehicle. So if you carry 3 people, coolers, gear, etc inside your vehicle
which totals about 800lbs and have a tow rating of 4000lbs then what you tow
can only total 3200lbs.

I know I will be buying a boat in a few years and I'm considering what
I will need to tow it. Currently, I own a Toyota Sienna and am about
to replace my other vehicle. The Toyota website says the Sienna has a
towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Is this enough to pull a ski boat?
One of the vehicles I'm considering is the Tacoma, which also lists a
capacity of 3,500 pounds.

Would there be a towing difference between the two vehicles, or should
they perform about the same?
