Towing Question

I've used a family member's Toyota Highlander (2008) recently. Really nice ride, though much  more suv than truck. The one I've driven had a 5k tow rating, but I wouldn't be confident with it beyond local , flat land camping, even with our smaller Elite. 

I'd probably look for something with a higher tow rating, if you want to get out of Florida/Georgia flatlands. More power equals less stress, imo.

In contrast, my 2005 1500 Siverado, and my husband's 2008 ram 1500 4x4, tow the Elite like it isn't there.  Both get "decent" around town and (reduced)  towing mpg.
