That's good.
My Toyota Tacoma has a GVWR of only 5450#, and with our Elkmont's tongue weight of 420# (with WDH) and all our junk, we exceeded that by 250# on our last trip.
The Tacoma's relatively low GVWR is probably because of its rear drum brakes. My guess is that the Highlander has disk brakes on the rear as well as front axles.
The Tacoma's relatively low GVWR came as surprise to me as its GCWR (11,000#) and towing capacity (6500#) is relatively high and not a problem when towing the Elkmont.

Just goes to show that towing capacity isn't everything in selecting a TV.
