Hi Colley,
 
I do not have towing info but do have 2 places on Edmund that have related info - HL on Outer Bank.
I found these long ago last year when I first researched the Highlander's capability off-road.
 
When you first get to these boards, the photos may not load, you will see the ".jpg". Try to reload the page by going back 1 page in Edmund and going forward back to the page with the photo. Then the photos seem to load fine. if you have problems, let me know, may be we can arrage some kind of e-mail contact where I can send you the PDF file. I downloaded his posts with pictures after I found them last year.
 
(1) First board:
Toyota Highlander Owners: Photo Gallery
Post #25 of 38 by poster "stevtec".
 
(2) Second board
Toyota 4Runner vs Toyota Highlander
Post #44 of 65 by "stevtec".
 
OR try this "search link" that takes you to Stevtec's posts listing:
 
http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef234ee!keywords=allin%3Amsgtext%2- - 0stevtec&count=20
 
Unfortunately, in the second board post #44, either Edmund has removed his pictures or there is a loading problem. The picture link named "...Highlander3.jpg" is the same as the second photo in the first board post #25 where the HL is on sand on the beach.
 
The second board has specific sand-depth information that may be helpful to you.
 
Good luck!

Trailer Hitch by toyofan4

Looking at a new HH and asked the dealer how much a hitch would cost.
 
He said the hitch on the HH looks awkward and is not flush with the bumper.
 
This is the first I have heard of that and wondered if anyone else has noticed it. Not sure if he is telling the truth, or they just don't want to install it.
 
Thanks

I've never heard of a dealer not wanting to make money on options that his service department can add on easily. Take a look at the e-brochure on the toyota website. They have a picture of the hitch. Frankly, if you have a need for a hitch I don't think aesthetics matter.

I just bought a highlander hybrid with a hitch package. it's flush with the bumper and looks great! The dealer, if he installs one, will find that he needs to install a trani cooler as well as the hitch, wiring, and a bit more. I think it costs the dealer about $600 or more, while the factory hitch is only $400 or so.

Well...I went out to take some pix...but I can't figure out how to attach, insert, paste, or otherwise post them here. I'll share if you can tell me how to do so.
 
I stand corrected: the hitch protrudes perhaps 2 inches.

You could look up under "Help" for "Post a photo.." but it seems that you would have to create a personal space on a server prior to uploading your pictures there and then use the html tag to insert into your post. It is a bit inconvenient, sorry, I had not realized. Please forget it if it is too much trouble.
 
Thanks,

I am considering buying a HH, but am concerned about towing a 3400 lb trailer. Does anyone have experience with towing? Any recommendations on the tow package to obtain with the HH? What kind of mileage are you getting? How is the power?

Highlander Hybrid limited towing questions by ljmiii

I have a highlander hybrid and (am about to) have a 16' airstream trailer. I've started to look at hitches online and have a couple of questions...
 
Does anyone know if the hitch available through Toyota has a tongue weight limit of 300 lbs or 350 lbs. I asked my local Toyota dealer and got no answer.
 
Are you all having your toyota dealer do the hitch/wiring installation or is there some other good place to go?
 
thanks in advance,
leo
