I'll just add a "Newbies" two cents to this thread. We have a 5000lb. tow capacity with our 2005 Nissan Xterra and our TM is a 2000 2619. We're located in Colorado and so a lot of our towing is at altitude with steep grades up AND down.
We've been convinced in our travels that lighter is definately better. Our 2619 is a great match with our Xterra. I think anything significantly heavier would be dangerous.
My Newbie advice:
Don't get even close to the published limits on your tow capacity and take it slow on twisting descents.
