If you any doubts about using your Camry.......rent a truck of some sort for the hauling.

I refuse to risk hauling #5,000 behind my one ton just because I don't feel that much weight is a good or safe idea for me to pull/haul, yet, it is rated for #5,000. #2,500 OR less? Piece of cake for the one ton......

Your Camry would in my estimation be at it's outer limits @ #2,000. I would seriously consider renting the truck to move whatever it is you're moving/hauling.

And, just for the record - I don't think it was all that bright of me (20+ years ago) to pull a #1,000 +/- UHaul trailer, with a #800 Cub Cadet lawn tractor enclosed for a thousand miles. Not that it was all that difficult for the '83 300SD to pull once at speed, but @ 50-55 mph I think I presented a hazard to myself and others (cars/trucks) on the Interstate/Tollway system driving that slowly. Also, braking? Prolly wasn't the brightest either, even though I was careful. Just my '02.......
