I would limit the dry weight of the trailer to be about 3500 lbs. at most. then when you lightly pack it, add some water, etc. will be under 5,000 lbs.
check out the Ascend line, they have several units that would work for you. much more liveable than a Casita which I looked at one time, stopped by the factory but the bath was too tight for me. also little storage.
an Aliner would also work for a low profile with no canvas to worry about.

Aliners feel a little claustrophobic to me unfortunately. And I plan to winter in it - at the least.
Did your Highlander tow your Ascend smoothly, including up - and down - steep grades? And can you tell me what kind of mpg you got? My 2011 does about 22 at its best, pretty much hwy only.
