Tow Vehicle Advice Needed for Novice
Hi, I'm looking at used Highlanders to tow my 17 ft Casita, both gas and a hybrid. But the two I'm looking at do not have a hitch. Is there anything special to know about getting the hitch and plug in...

And in general max towing assumes driver and a full tank of gas in the tow vehicle, no luggage, not passengers, zippo else.
All the vehicle manufacturers have adopted SAE std J2807.
Tow values include full fluids, including fuel, 150 lb driver, 150 lb passenger, and some amount of hitch equipment.
That's better than before, but still not what lots of folks think or follow when looking at towing capacity limits. And I'd say that 300lbs of allowed people probably means many vehicles with 2 people is over the 300lbs. I'm a skinny 6ft tall at 165 and DW is a trim 125, put our clothes on and I'd say we are over the 300lbs.
