Contemplating purchasing a 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD V-6 with factory tow package. It has a 5000 lb tow rating. Looking for a suitable TT for our small family's need... Would a Lance 1685 with a dry weight of 3405 lbs be too much for the Highlander to handle? If not, how about an Explorer, Pathfinder?
I have a 2011 highlander with TP and my TT is 3450 or so dry. It would handle the 3405 trailer OK. a heavier/beefier/TV would be better but depends on where and how you will be towing it.
but once again I disagree with those who base their decision only on GVWR of the TT. what matters is what is the ACTUAL weight loaded, not some hypothetical maximum.
