Towing with 5th Gen 4Runner

Looking for some helpful input so I can correctly match our vehicle to a trailer. Our vehicle is a 2011 Toyota 4Runner V6 4x4 with a hitch and both 7/4 pin connectors. The 4runner specs out:

Tow rating:5000
Tounge Weight:500
GVWR:6300
GCWR:11300
Payload (yellow sticker):1185


Currently interested in a jayco hybrid model, jay feather x18d. The jay feather x18d has an estimated unloaded weight of 3360, tounge weight of 410 and a GVWR of 4400. Could I safely tow this trailer if properly equipped? Or should I look at something lighter in weight. Any input would be helpful.
