Before I bought my half ton, I was towing a large Coleman PU (2,300 lbs +/-) with a Ford Windstar. When I traded in the Windstar, I noticed that the tow hitch, where attached to the underside of the "frame", had stretched and deformed the metal around the bolt holes.
Sorry to hear about your experience. Of course, body-on-frame vehicles are not immune to stress causing things like cracked frames. The '08 Highlander is rated for 5000 lbs with the regular V6 so should be structurally stout enough to handle a lightweight camper.
