Thoughts on my rig pulling this weight? Should i look at aftermarket transmission cooler as well to preserve the vehicle/tranny?
Have a shop install the trailer brake kit and have them show you how it works, its easy after you know, yes on the tranny cooler and your towing weight is fine but what about camping gear, supplies, etc, you could easily go beyond 4000 lbs.
My wife owns a 2019 Highlander 6 cly, I would not go much beyond 4000 lbs towing on these Highlanders even though Toyota says 5000 lbs.
I'm looking at something like this, so you're saying bad idea?
Dry Weight
3,721 lbs.
Payload Capacity
1,278 lbs.
Hitch Weight
371 lbs.
