I'm new as it gets to this. Haven't even purchased yet. I have a 2013 Toyota Highlander V6 rated at 5k tow weight. I'm currently looking at a tandem axle pop up between 3100 and 3700 lbs. I am set up to pull, with a hitch and lights. I need to get trailer brake hookup installed.
Thoughts on my rig pulling this weight? Should i look at aftermarket transmission cooler as well to preserve the vehicle/tranny?
the 5k towing capacity is IF it has the factory tow package. do you have it because asking about a trans cooler sounds like it doesn't have the factory tow package.
if it doesn't, then it doesn't have a 5k towing capacity.
and are those 3100-3700 numbers "dry" weights? if so, those are fictional numbers. use the GVWR numbers.
