Towing Visa 19rds w/2015 Toyota Highlander

[Bob_Dobson]

Hi all, I have a 2015 Toyota Highlander AWD with a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. Looking at buying a 2012 Visa RDS which I gather has a dry weight of about 2830 lbs. Add to that one 200lb adult, two 75lb kids, 3 bicycles, 3 sets of golf clubs (2 kids' sized), clothing and food etc. I figure the extras will weigh about 900 - 1000 lbs, putting the total weight at about 4,000. I realize that's well under the Highlander's limit but I am planning to drive across Canada (some long inclines north of Lake Superior) and possibly into the Rockies and I have been told (by one person with some experience with another trailer) that I may want to look at a lighter (and smaller TT. I'd prefer the Visa so I don't have to convert the dinette every night.) Can I do this trip with the above mentioned criteria? Do I need to lighten the load? Or do I need to look at smaller TTs altogether?

Thanks in advance!

Bob
