I towed our last trailer, a 2011 Coachmen 23GSX, with my 2008 4Runner 4x4 V8 Limited. It's got a 7000 lb tow rating with 700 lb tongue rating. It pulled the heck out of the roughly 5,000 lb trailer and got 9-12 mpg.
Unfortunately, I wasn't comfortable with the short wheelbase. I had an Equalizer hitch which did a great job handling sway. However, I was concerned that in an emergency I wouldn't be able to effectively control the trailer.
