I'm sorry to be the one to disagree with all above. But a scared driver, is a bad driver, and a petrified driver is a worse driver.
Find a place to practice, and get yourself very comfortable with the TT before venturing out on the highway. If by the time you need to travel. You are not comfortable towing. Don't.
Also. IMOP. You need more TV. The older TT are heavier than todays.
I also hate to sound like a wet blanket, but I have agree with Terry. I am not getting the impression "brave and strong". Not trying to make this a personal attack, but what I am hearing is "uninformed and potentially dangerous".
A better tact might be to start out towing with something small, get your feet wet and gain some experience there, then move up.
I'm thinking this is probably going to be over the limits of the Sequoia, so I think the first thing, as always, should be to decide whether you are the kind of person who wants to stay within manufacturer stated limits, or are you going to be one who thinks that you know more about properly matching tow vehicles to trailers than the car manufacturer. Certainly, there are many folks out there that tow trailers beyond the stated limits of the car or truck..... your decision, it's your backside on the line.
Good luck with it all.
