	HI J and P we have the Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is also rated at 5000lb towing. You will have no problems with your highlander at all. The only time we notice the pod is behind us is when a dump truck is passing us. 18 wheelers, buses no problem passing us or meeting us. Also when meeting a dump truck there is no problem, it seems only a very slight sway is felt when the dump truck passes us... happy podding.

	Hi Folks we tow our pod with a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan with the 3.6L 283 horse power engine. We have towed from Vermont's mountains to the Florida Keys and through the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania. We started with a 171 for 5 years and recently moved up to a 179. Our van gets 13.5-14.5 in Vermont and then 14.5-16.5 once we hit Massachusetts and below. We usually will tow at 55-65 on the interstate. You should not have any problem with your Toyota.

	So excited to discover this forum! We have a 2013 3.5 L, 6-cylinder, four wheel drive Toyota Highlander with a factory installed tow package. It's rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, but we'd like to hear from anyone out there with actual towing experiences. We're looking at a r-pod 178.
