Good Lord..I have to spell everything out.
Had a RAV4 when I bought the 16.5 foot boat last year.
Upgraded to a 2013 Highlander with the 3.5 liter 6 cyl at the end of March 2013.
I'm legal!


Legal and safe are not inclusive. I towed my 4400# boat and trailer with a
Chevy S10 Blazer. 5000# towing rating. Had trailer brake failure, and
that rig was an asspucker to stop. My wife's Venza is a cross between a
Highlander and a Camry. Same 6 cylinder! and probably same brakes! maybe
bigger, and I would hate to tow a 3000# rig without brakes. 2000# is OK,
but stills seems ligh unless that is a really thin skin aluminum boat.
