2010 Toyota Sequoia towing capabilities
Can someone help me? I am new to this whole trailer thing. We have a 2010 Sequoia. We are wanting to get a Forest River hybrid 233s. Here are the specs for it. GVW: 6,780 Dry Weight: 4,670 Payload ...

According to Edmunds, you only have 1280 payload capacity. That amount includes EVERYTHING you put in the SUV or on it. Such as you, passengers, equipment, toys, clothes,food, electronic toys, etc.
Then you have to include the tongue weight that in itself includes the WDH, battery(s), and propane. Your proposed trailer has a dry tongue weight of 550 lbs, but as mentioned above this figure is almost useless except when pulling the trailer from the dealer to home. It is best to use the trailer's GVWR (6780) and use 15% as the ratio factor which comes up to 1017 lbs. Typically, you'll probably never see this amount of tongue weight, but even at the minimum you'll see at least 700 to 800 lbs.
So, this leaves you only 480 lbs for everything you want to put in the car....like I said above...everything.
Can you do it? Probably, but you'll be at the extreme end of the payload limits (and probably over) for the car and I can guarantee you, the car will struggle up any hill at high rpms and a lower gear.
Doesn't look good, does it?
Good luck
