I'm not sure how up to date this info is since we have an '02 Highlander and an '05 Tacoma. 4 Runners used to be on a truck chassis (don't know about now) while the Highlander was on an auto chassis (Camray?). Our daughter had a 4 Runner and it felt like a truck, while the Highlander felt like a car.
We have towed our TM with our V6 Tacoma for over a year. And up and over some nasty mountains with no issues. I believe it is basically the same engine as comes in the Highlander. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone and will probably buy another when the time comes. Sounds to me that you are on the right track.
