The 3426# is considered the "dry," or empty, weight of the trailer as it left the factory. There should be a sticker by the door or in a cabinet by the door that lists that specific trailer's real dry weight, which is with all it's included options. My guess would be that the dry weight is closer to 3600-3700# then 3200. Depending on how many people you bring along in the Highlander, the weight of the passengers subtracts from the 5000# that the Highlander can tow. The hitch parts can add up to another 100#. So as you can see, the 5000# capacity of the vehicle can get taken up rather quickly. You'll need to do the math to see how much capacity you really have.
