#3941 of 3943 Re: Towing with a 2006 HH Limited [gowhitten] by sockpuppet1969 Nov 01, 2009 (6:36 pm)
Replying to: gowhitten (Nov 01, 2009 3:11 pm) Thanks for the info. I just had the steering rack recall service done on my HH and had the hitch installed at the same time. They checked while it was on the lift and I do not have the transmission cooler. As best I can can tell from talking to the dealer, browsing the web and reviewing the owners manual - the '06 HH has a tow limit of 3500 lbs stock from Toyota (without additional tow package) as compared to the 2000 lbs limit of the stock 6cyl. I guess this is due to more power and/or larger alternator from the hybrid system? Does the ICE version of the hybrid have a CVT or a regular automatic trans?   Anyway, I bought the HH is to tow, so tow I am going to do. I will be towing a pontoon boat/trailer with a wet weight of about 3,000 lbs. I plan on leaving the boat on the trailer at the marina so will only be towing to/from home (about 10 miles one-way) a few times a year. Hopefully it will be able to pull the boat out of the water without too much trouble.

Replying to: gowhitten (Nov 01, 2009 3:11 pm) "..no real mechanical connection..."   Yes, and that's what allows it to be a quite unique FULL-TIME F/awd system. Both front and rear drives can be "on" full time since there is no issue of drive line windup.   Only 75HP at the rear is the "real" limitation.
