Need help from Toyota Highlander owners

Loaded hitch weight will probably be around 650 pounds, so that's a no-go for the hitch receiver.

I don't see how this trailer's gross tongue weight would end up anywhere near this light. Presuming a family is using this trailer the OP, as I already said, will be challenged keeping this trailer's GVW within it's GVWR of 5500 lbs. My own previous K-Z Spree 240BH-LX typically averaged ~ 5500 lbs loaded & ready to camp and gross tongue weight consistently averaged ~ 750 lbs, or ~ 13.6% - right where it should have been.

To the OP - bear in mind that rear glide trailers which were popular about 10 yrs ago are much less so now, one reason being lack of storage. Trailers with a conventional queen front bed usually have a fairly generous front pass through cargo compartment which rear glide trailers do not. Your only choice really is to raise the lower front bunk bed on it's hinges and use that space for storage ... but that of course means removing all of what you've loaded in there if you expect to use that lower bed. Some owners also complained of cold seeping up through the glide out bed platform during spring and fall camping ... not a show stopper but worth being aware of.
