    I tow a 3,500# travel trailer quite a lot with my '18 TRD Off Road. You will need a trailer brake controller, and I added Sumo springs. Longest haul so far was from Phoenix to Seattle and back, via Cali. going North and Montana coming home. No issues. I do not have a weight distribution hitch on this rig, and do not need one with the 350# tongue weight.
