Wait a minute - how is a "hybrid" even rated to tow anything? The vehicle is built with a small gas motor supplemented by an electrical motor to maximize gas mileage. What happens when you place a towing load on that system??
It tows it down the road.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive in the 2008 Highlander is actually two electric motors and a gas engine with a net power of 270 hp. The engine is a 3.3L V6 - not so small.
