#23 of 3943 Towing With A Hybrid by bmccue Jan 07, 2004 (5:57 am)
Does anyone know if the Highlander Hybrid 4x4 could tow a camper like the "old fashioned" gas model?

Why wouldn't it. The only limitation in traditional towing is the hp and keeping the engine cool enough. It wouldn't take anymore than the current upgrade to a larger radiator. In fact, towing would be better with increased hp.

increased Torque.

I believe that the hybrid hl is gonna be great but the only thing im om worried about is that its already 4 years old and that it may get a redesign in the next 2 to 3 years. Also does anybody know if the sienna will be available with the hsd?

Other posters on other boards say that Toyota sells a hsd Sienna in Japan.
#28 of 3943 Dealers in the dark on the hybrid HL by ssachnoff Jan 09, 2004 (1:54 pm)
I just spoke to the owner of a Chicago suburban Toyota dealer and it seemed that he knew less about the Hybrid HL than I did (and my info is from this board and Toyota's own website and press releases.) He said I was the first person to call about getting on any list to buy the vehicle and that he didn't think he would have any materials or info on the vehicle for another 6 months.
#29 of 3943 Hybrid HL Cost by ssachnoff Jan 09, 2004 (1:57 pm)
chazzcage, at the web teleconference last Sunday, the honcho at Toyota said the hybrid HL would be available in both the regular and expensive "Limited" versions. I hope this means that there will be a cheaper option than $30K. Plus, at that price range, they're getting close to competing with the same market for the Lexus SUV hybrid which makes no marketing sense.

> they're getting close to competing with the same market > for the Lexus SUV hybrid which makes no marketing sense   ...until you compare it with the marketing success of Ford & Mercury. The same situation existed with those two product lines from the same company.   Remember, LEXUS and TOYOTA dealers & service are entirely different entities serving different consumer markets.   JOHN

is called the Estima in Japan. More of a Previa that lost the egg shape. Pretty nice looking. If you go to Toyota of Australia's website, they'll have something like the Previa or tha Toyota Tarago, which is similar to the Estima only minus the hybrid.
#32 of 3943 Arrogance of the GM exec. by wco81 Jan 09, 2004 (9:21 pm)
Lutz basically thinks only fringe environmentalists are interested in this.   Unfortunately, only environmentalists and technophiles may even be aware of hybrids.   All we can hope is that as more and more hybrid models get out there, they gain mindshare and greater consciousness.   Increasing gas prices will help the cause, not that any of us necessarily want to see that. But it might not be the worst thing for the environment, even if it hurts the wallet.
