What is the best towing capacity for the Toyota Highlander?

I'm planning to go on a camping trip with my friends and we need to know how much we can tow with the Toyota Highlander. Can you provide any recommendations or tips for towing? Thank you!

The Toyota Highlander has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds for the V6 engine. It's recommended to use a weight distribution hitch and electronic brakes when towing at or near the maximum capacity.

I have the Toyota Highlander and have used it for towing my travel trailer multiple times. I suggest researching the specific trailer weight and tongue weight as these factors will affect the towing capacity.

I would also recommend checking the vehicle's owner manual for specific towing instructions and guidelines. It's important to follow these for safety reasons.
