In 2009, the Toyota Highlander had a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, meaning it could pull that much weight behind it. With a torque of 186 to 248 lb-ft, the vehicle had the turning power needed. Its payload ranged from 1,450 to 1,822 pounds, indicating how much weight it could carry inside. The tongue weight was 200 pounds, showing the downward force on the hitch from the trailer's tongue. To ensure safe towing, always conduct safety checks before driving. Verify the tires, brake lights, and ensure the trailer is properly secured. While driving, remember to make wider turns at corners and brake earlier.
