Thanks for all the input. Now to answer a few questions.
Yes, the TV is determined. A 2014 Toyota Highlander Limited V6 AWD
the towing package is standard.

A few spec from the owner's manual
Trailer brakes are required 1000 lbs and above.
anti- sway required 2000 lbs and above.
WDH required 5000 lbs and above, BUT that's weird, since max tow wt. is 5000 lbs.
Max hitch wt is 500 lbs.
from the door sticker:
gvwr 6000 lb
gawr front 2955 lb
rear 3505 lb
total cargo and passengers 1385 lbs
Max tongue wt 500 lbs
GSU55L-ARTGKA GCWR 9940 LBS TWR 5000 LBS

from the discussions here and elsewhere, I am convinced we need trailer brakes, anti-sway and an WDH. It also seems even though we think we'd like a 3124, it is too close to the limit. It looks like a 2922 gives a better margin. It looks lile MarkoPolo's issues with sway were solved with and anti-sway hitch.

MP, do you have any weights for your 2922 fully loaded?

So back to the original thrust of the thread, what real world weights have people seen in the other models? The comparisons with comparable TV's is also quite valuable. Just the TV is set for now.

Thanks for this great discussion. I'm learning a lot.
