I pull a 2100 lb dry weight Escape 17B (actual weight loaded for a long trip - 3000 lbs) with a RAV4 (V6 & tow package) rated at 3500/350 lbs. 33,000 miles so far over two years, including Colorado & other eastern & western mountains. A couple of advantages - I travel solo so not much of a load in the RAV4 & I rarely drive interstates, prefer secondary roads and towing @ 57MPH. Yes, I slow down on long hills, but the 25MPG unhooked makes it worth it. 15MPG towing.
