I think a Highlander V6 will handle a TT the size and weight of that Cobblestone just fine anyplace except on long grades at higher elevations. I towed a similar size, but somewhat lighter (2700 lb loaded) KZ Escape E14RB and the long climbs around the Rocky Mountains were the only place where it struggled, necessitating 40 mph in 3rd or (adding in a strong headwind to boot) 2nd gear. Mind the 500 lb hitch weight limit, and buy one with the tow package which I believe includes extra cooling.
If you want to go one better, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango have higher tow ratings and hitch weight rating. The V8 with the 8 speed transmission will have an easier time than the older trannies they used to use in those vehicles. But even the V6 should do it... unless you plan to head out west sometime, that is.
