The total weight of my boat, motor and trailer is 2600#. The trailer does not have brakes. The reason I'm looking into this is because I pull my camper with my Silverado.

We would love to be able to pull it 800 miles when we go to Florida Keys next summer if her car can do it. If not, I may need to look into trading up to something that can do it. Would a V6 Highlander with tow package suffice? Would it still require trailer brakes? We would like to stick with a mid size SUV. Thanks.
