Default Highlander chugging while towing?

We've never towed anything before and it's been too long to remember what it felt like when my dad towed stuff but something strikes me as not right.
We brought our new TM(2619) home on Saturday with our 2013 Toyota Highlander(V6, 4WD, w/tow package). We drove normally(not 4wd mode) and there was a subtle chugging feel. Maybe I'm just super sensitive, but I can't imagine that's normal when so many people say they don't even "feel" like they are towing something.
We know we haven't exceeded our towing capacity(5000#)so I don't see any reason that the Highlander would struggle. That's what it felt like. :/
We are using an adjustable ball mount 23" from the ground. The trailer is nice and even with the tow vehicle.
Any suggestions?
