I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere. I tried the search function but couldn't find the answer.

A loaded (NAV, Leather,Moonroof ...) TCH dollarwise it's close to the XLE-V6 similarly equipped. The XLE has a few more niceties. Rear sunscreen, auto-up driver's window, some woodgrain accents, sliding front arm rest, fog lamps, and an actual towing capacity but otherwise they are the same. The performance of the TCH is less than the XLE-V6 but it's fuel economy in the city is much better and on the highway a little better. I speak from firsthand experience. I am fortunate enough to have one of each.
