I am looking for something I can comfortably tow with FJ.

This is the actual trailer I bought:
2018 Forest River R-Pod r-pod Ultra Lite RP-178 RP1806 | Niel's RV
Being on the West Coast we get the Hood River Edition built in Oregon, East Coast gets the ones built in Indiana. Hood River has 1" more ground clearance, everything else is the same. Only 2600 lbs so easy to tow, I'm sure the FJ being on the 4 Runner platform has the same 5,000 lb tow capacity.
Lots of floor plans available, good price point ($24k MSR, you'll find them all day for $18k), has sleep, kitchen, bathroom so interest is tax deductible as second home. Outside shower for the pup, quick connect to propane for grill, outside speakers, digital antennae, 4 point stabilizer jacks, motorized tongue jack, lots of features.
If you're on FB there's an "R-Pod Owners" page that's very active, a closed group so you'll have to send a request, but lots of info if you are considering buying. You should take a look, it checked all the right boxes for me.
