We just purchased a FR Wildwood x-lite 195Bh 3,003lb travel trailer ( has 1 wheel on each side) and a 2008 Toyota Highlander AWD that states it pulls 5000K with a tow package.
Is this vehicle going to pull this trailer? Car Dealer, FR salesman assured us it would work. After reading this forum, I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance !

I assume your Highlander is 6cyl and not 4? I also suspect your trailer weight given is 'dry' weight, without water, camping gear, and all the stuff you would put in it for a trip. That is going to run the weight up beyond 3000 pounds. The specifications for your Toyota Highlander 2008 should be available on the web ... download the user manual for that year and see for yourself what the towing capacity is. Don't forget tongue weight. And lastly, for Gawd sake, do not trust what your salesman tells you!
