Hi there. I don't currently own a TrailManor but I've been eyeing them for years. I love that they're small to tow yet spacious when opened up. At any rate, I bought a new 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid for the gas economy since it's a daily driver for us. The tow rating is only #3500. My thoughts were that some of the smaller TrailManor trailers were under #3000 that I'd be able to tow one with that vehicle. Now I know that I'll get a ton of different responses to this question but I was wondering if this is really realistic or not. I'm hoping that I'd be able to enjoy pulling a 2720SD as I've got a line on a nice used one but I'm worried that my vehicle wouldn't be enough.

The specs on the 2017 Highlander Hybrid are:
Towing capacity: 3,500 lbs
Gross vehicle weight rating: 6,260 lbs
Horsepower: 306 hp

Thanks for any help you folks can bring my way!
