From much that I see on the Web, it says the Highlander has a 5,000 max towing capacity, that's why I looked at that vehicle today. It shows the Sienna at 3,500. Can others that have a Highlander respond. I'm likely buying a 2016 178.]]> Fri, 13 May 2016 19:16:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=74935#74935 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=73029#73029 Author: techntrek

Welcome.  The Highlander is a 3500-pound rated vehicle, same drivetrain as the Sienna, so you won't want to do any cross-country trips.]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2016 20:53:44 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=73029#73029 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=72995#72995 Author: TheBum

I tow with a Highlander. What do you need to know?

A weight distribution hitch will work, but just don't over-spec it. Most people run 600/6000 hitches. A round bar hitch *may* be a little easier on the vehicle unibody structure than a trunnion hitch because the flex of the round bars will absorb some of the stress.]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2016 11:02:00 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=72995#72995 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=72968#72968 Author: Guests

Welcome to the forum!

I took the liberty of moving your post to it's own topic. I hope you don't mind.

I have no experience with the Highlander so I can't be of much help. Stay tuned...you'll get some replies.]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2016 18:48:44 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=72968#72968 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7727&PID=72954#72954 Author: riverrats
