We had the same year and model T4R. Towed a 26' tt @ 5500lbs. Handled the weight no problem, the length was starting to push the short wheelbase though. You should be ok with the size you mention but I would try to keep it under 5500lbs. Any heavier and the tongue weight will exceed the receiver limits. The T4R had more payload than my Tundra.
Properly set up, any wd hitch should be fine. Cheap ones can be found for $200. I would suggest spending a little more though on something with built in sway control like the Equil-I-zer or Blue Ox.
A trailer that size will have brakes. You will need a brake controller installed to use them. With the right harness it is an easy plug and play install. The tekonsha models are good and popular.
