Default Sequoia Towing Advice

I have a 2008 Limited with the TOW package.
Those of you with towing experience, do you think my Sequoia could tow an Outback 280RS okay? The specs are below...I dont want to do anything which is always going to be a whiteknuckle sweaty palm trip...Let me know your advice and opinions. Thanks!

280RS Specifications
Shipping Weight 6528
Carrying Capacity 1915
Hitch 575
Length 32' 1
Width 8'
Height 10' 11
Fresh Water 43
Waste Water 30
Gray Water 60

PS - Its a toy hauler and would like to put a 400lb ATV in it or a 200lb motorcycle...

I just took a Outback 300BH for a test pull last week with my '09 Platinum. Dry weight 6738lbs, hitch weight 678 lbs, length 32'8". Pulled great, loads of power to spare. Load levelling suspension works great. Once it's loaded with gear I still can't see it being a problem. I prolly wouldn't take it through the Rockies but it'll be fine for the trips I'm taking.
P.S What kind of tow mirrors are you using? Are they any good?

Should be fine. Just make sure you use a WDH and sway control.
