Towing capacity is not the only limit
The towing capacity is the most a Land Cruiser is rated to pull. The trailer, the cargo on it, your passengers and the cargo inside the vehicle all have to stay within its other weight limits too, and the trailer's tongue weight counts against payload.
Toyota.com lists a GVWR of 6,725 lb. for both grades, minimum curb weights of 5,360 lb. (Land Cruiser 1958) and 5,445 lb. (Land Cruiser), and seating for five. The owner's manual for your Land Cruiser has the full set of limits, including tongue weight, so read it before your first trip with a trailer.
