Hankie, the Highlander with V6 is rated for 5000lbs...That's "monster" enough for me.

Actually, Don, I didn't read that the Highlander could not be used for 'serious off-roading'. Is
that really in the manual.

As the Highlander was my wife's car, I didn't read the manual much at all.

Also, the Cayenne is no slouch when it comes to towing ability:

Body Cayenne Cayenne Tiptronic
Length 190.8 in 190.8 in.
Width (without mirrors) 76.3 in. 76.3 in.
Height 67.4 in. 67.4 in.
Wheelbase 114.0 in. 114.0 in.
Drag coefficient (Cd) 0.35 0.35
Curb weight 4,398 lbs 4,475 lbs
Towing capacity 5,952 lbs / 1,653 lbs 7,716 lbs / 1,653 lbs
(braked / unbraked)

Actually, the Cayenne is a lot more monster than the Highlander. The Tiptronic is a whole lot more
monster.

Glad you posted that. If Donnie has any brains he'll get some electric
brakes or surge brakes for his boat trailer. Most vehicles in his class
have a 1000 lb tow rating without sup. brakes.

Cost of ownership is a really good yardstick of a car's reliability.
