newbie question

We are looking at getting our first r-pod and driving with two dogs to Nova Scotia from Georgia. We have a Toyota Highlander, 6 cylinder, two wheel drive. Will we be OK? Also, we would like a hybrid. If it is cold and we do not lift up the back door and pull out the bed area, is there enough room for two people in the bed area with the back door down (ie all shut up)? I know there are bunks but what about the main bed area?

You can look up your tow vehicle here:  http://www.trailerlife.com/trailer-towing-guides/

I don't think the hybrid has the same towing capacity as the 6Cyl.

Any pod when loaded with, clothes, food, etc. brings weight very close to 3500lb. I wouldn't pull it with any tv that is rated lower than 5000lb. Its a safety margin thing, not only for yourself but for others that you meet on the road.

OP, our original tow vehicle was a Hyundai Veracruz with a 3500# capacity.  We went with the 171 model since it was one of, if not the, lowest weighted Pods available ... that, and we actually like the floor plan layout.  We used it for 1 1/2 years with the Veracruz camping around NC, SC, GA and TN.  For the area around these parts we had no problems with towing it, as it is mostly flat with some rolling hills.  We always packed light, kept speed down, were very cautious and conscious about other vehicles around us, and generally took it easy.
