I am thinking of purchasing the 2006 RAV4 V6. I love the power and stability on my test drive, but I want to understand towing a little better.

I will be carrying 5 people total and towing a trailer with a 2000 lb. GVWR. The RAV4 V6 has a maximum tow rating of 3500 lbs. and a payload of 1073lbs. Making the GVW 4600 lbs. I will be purchasing the tow package.

I don’t want to strain the engine, or push the vehicle. Will anyone share advice, or information on how this will turn out?
Thank you.

    It's my fault, I was behind three payments. But they said they were going to repossess it unless I paid the full balance: $9,000. I told them to get it. Better to have them sell it and owe a fraction. Anyway, four months later they never showed up. I called back in September and they swore...
