I tow an rPod 179, which is a bit lighter than what you're talking about, but in the same range. It weighs about 3000 dry and probably 3500 loaded. Hitch weight is about 300 lbs, I think. I don't use a weight distribution hitch, but I do have OME 896 rear springs which give extra stiffness. The 4runner and trailer sit nice and level. I use a standard "sliding brake bar" sway control, and have zero issues with sway at any speed I care to go (I've had it past 75 mph for short periods, although I generally keep it under 70)
The rpod has a narrow enough body that I don't need mirror extensions, but I want to get a rear camera so I can see cars right behind me.
I got my brake controller from e-trailers.com. Can't remember the brand, but it was about $85, and works fine.
