I would guess the overall network is definitely way busier than Toronto's overall network, but on a single highway to highway comparison it's probably a closer match.
to compete with the 401 you definitely need over 8 through lanes like the highway depicted. 12+ lanes at the minimum, its simply not possible to move 500,000 cars a day through an 8 lane highway.
The New Jersey Turnpike is a 12 lane highway with a 3x4 setup.

I'm always surprised that the I-290 and I-90 (Eisenhower and Kennedy) in Chicago can top out at right around 200,000 on just 6 lanes built back in the 60's.
Also that the Kennedy north of downtown can handle over 300,000 cars on a 4X4 with 2 reversible lanes in the middle, or 10 total.
