    Watching. We’re looking at an Escape 19 and plan to pull it with our 21 Venture. We’re in the flatlands in Southern Oklahoma / N. Texas so probably no mountains.

    You need a good electronic brake control and a light duty load distributing hitch.

    There are a few threads around here about towing travel trailers, and brake controllers.

    3,300 loaded, the 4Runner will do fine. But, keep it in S4, and under 65 MPH. Take your time and enjoy the scenery.
