  1. We ordered a Airstream Bambi 16 RB for family road trip adventures . We don't have a TV yet and trying to decide on one that will work for us to tow the Bambi. We are looking for a SUV that will be the regular family car in & around town and also double up to tow the Bambi when needed. The usual trips we would take are 2-5 days within a 1000 miles round trip. There are hopes to do cross county trip as well from CA to MA. We are considering a 2021 Highlander XSE (3.5L V6). The GVWR for the Bambi is about 70% of the tow capacity of the Highlander. With some water in the tank and some luggage we should be within the 5000 lbs capacity. The Bambi has a GVWR of 3500 lbs with a Hitch Weight (with LP & Batteries) of 430 lbs. The 2021 Highlander has a tow capacity is 5000 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. Anyone have experience with using the Highlander as a TV for their trailer, short or long term? Or are we just better off going for something like a Tahoe? We re trying to balance the towing requirements with overall use in & around town. (FWIW, we do plan to put a WD hitch, brake controller and associated safety sway control gear) Any info, tips, comments greatly appreciated. Thanks!
