Obviously, but that's not the point. If this XLE had the "Trail package", the towing capacity would be 3500 pounds, just like my Caravan where I am not even half-way from maximum capacity.
My question should have been "how to upgrade an XLE to an XLE-Trail package" in aftermarket! :-)
The problem is that towing capacity is only part of the equation. What's the payload of the Rav4 vs the van? Even if you "upgrade" the Rav4, you cannot and will not increase the payload. More than likely the Rav4 only has a 1000# payload. Your family and gear will eat up most of that. And the Rav4 has a much weaker and less capable engine.
