Sorry, I could not wait. My wife is pretty attached to the 07 HHY so it was not going to be shared much. Besides the 08's are much nicer!

I figured I would run this one a couple years and then trade it in on say an 2010 hhy after they get a few years to work out any kinks in the production.

I was in the dealer yesterday haveing the hitch put on and the brake controller attached.

There is NOT a trailer plug in the 08's so the brake controller must be spliced in. My dealer had to call Toyota for a wiring diagram to the 08's.

The hitch setup is very nicely done. Much more stout then the 07's and it looks like a custom fit! My dealer commented that I am probably the first person in the country to throw a hitch and a brake controller on an 08 Highlander.

By the way, still another month for the hybrids.

When will the 2008 Highlander Hybrids come out and how much can they tow? The answer is 07/28/08 and 3500 lbs with 350 lbs tongue weight.

08/15/07 Update. The hitch will be a class 3 valley hitch.

As of 08/19/07 3 weeks to the 08's. Maybe soon we can order them.

As of 9/9/07 Broke down and bought a "gas" Sport Highlander. The Hybrids are delayed till October-November and could not wait.
