I know most people on this forum think I am crazy, but yes I tow my 2720 with a Highlander Hybrid. I've been doing it since 2015 with no issues. The HH is a 2010. I don't get as good non-towing MPG as you do. I am very careful in not over-packing the TM. Fully packed for a trip to the east coast we weighed in right around #3500 for the trailer. The second to last trip I took was to Wallowa Lake State park, OR. I took my son's family, so we had 3 adults and 3 boys in the HH. I did go through and took everything out of the TM that wasn't essential. No issues going up over the pass at 5100 feet. I'm sure you've noticed this - because of the CVT and the electric motor available, you can actually accelerate going uphill, and I'm guessing it does that better than a regular Highlander. Anyway, bottom line, you would be safer than you currently are because the TM is lighter, and you would get better gas mileage.
