I have a TM2619 and tow with an 05 V6 Highlander plus WDH. When setting up this rig I ran into the same comments. I was eventually told by a very experienced hitch installer that for many Toyota's and also for the Lexus SUV the hitch manufactuers had decided that the potential hitch market was too small to justify them paying for the necessary certification testing, therefore no recommendation. Nothing to do with the engineering of the vehicle just economics.
