Allen,
Don't be so quick to say you can't pull the Toyota. There is another member of the forum that has a 345 and pulls a 24' or 28' enclosed trailer with his porsche race car inside. As a matter of fact I beefed-up the hitch on our 310 to match his modified hitch.
Here is a picture of the 345 pulling the enclosed trailer.
The 345 is a stout engine with a lot of grunt. Especially if you've made improvements for air intake and exhaust.
The biggest issue you will have pulling the Toyota is the brakes. But for $1000 you can buy a brake system that goes inside and actuates the brake pedal on your Toyota.
We bought the 20' Argosy specifically to pull our 1974 31' Excella 500 that is being modified to hold our two Triumph race cars. The Excella will weigh somewhere around 6500 lbs when done. I will be modifying the frame and axles to handle the load appropriately. I'm a firm believer that the Argosy can handle towing the load.
