I also found this post in the same forum! Its dated back in 2009! I know the 2nd generation Highlanders are unibody but don't know when they came out! 2008 might have been the old style with frame!

I tow a TrailManor 2619 with our '08 HL Sport. Runs approx 3700lbs loaded with a tongue weight around 450lbs I would guess. I plan on weighing it come spring. I use a Reese Pro 1200lb WDH to level the load and HL. I drove it once without the WDH and it felt very unsafe. Front end was pointing at the sky. Light steering and poor braking.

The WDH made a huge difference in handling, steering and control. I can't imagine towing any kind of travel trailer without one.

Besides the tow rating, you need to watch your GCWR. I am under it by only 400 lbs with only 2 people and a lightly loaded TrailManor.
