with my 2002 Camry SE 4 cyl Manual for 100 mi yesterday. 2000lb is the max tow capacity for this vehicle. Got a few hundred pounds of cargo on board too, so I am close to the max payload capacity too (tongue + cargo weight).
I can feel the weight on take off and braking. But in all fairness it drove fine in city and highway speed of 60 mph. I feel safe as long as I increase the following distance to compensate for the load.
I did most of the highway towing in 4th gear. It was 94F out, no movement on the engine temp gauge from the normal spot. It finished with 19-20 MPG. I will pull an UOA to see how the PP 5W30 handled the stress.
