My Highlander has the tow package, (wasn't purchased for towing I just got an urge to fill my RV instinct all of a sudden). The TM2619 has a dry weight of approx 2,500 lbs, then there's the water, gear etc. and Toyota says to add the passengers, gear in the vehicle in the 3,500 lb range.

The TrailManor website lists the 2619 dry weight as 2673 lbs.

That does NOT include options. As I suggested before, you need to know the dry weight number printed on the placard in the TrailManor you are (have) purchasing.
My placard is like this:
GVWR..............................4075
Minus UVW......................2965
Minus Fresh Water............216
Minus LP-Gas.......................40
= CCC for Trailer................854 lbs
My 2720Sl is older, so the dry weight listed in the specs was 2680. The UVW is up 285 lbs from specs. Add the LP-GAS at 40 lbs + UVW = 3005. Add a 50 battery (not included in UVW on the placard) and the dry weight is up to 3055 lbs. The battery is a dealer installed item.
Since your 2005 2619 spec'ed dry weight is almost identical to the above numbers, and if the majority of optional equipment is in installed, your new trailer will likely weigh in around 3050 lbs.
Recommendation: call the dealer to determine the UVW. Ask if that number includes the weight of the battery. Once armed with this, your decision will be based on facts. Unless someone messed up the UVW on the placard.
