What is the difference? Don't they both have eCVT's, I know the THH is a V6, but shouldn't my MMH be able to tow at least 2000lbs ? Does anyone think that Ford is just underreporting the tow capacity in fear of someone getting crazy and tearing it up?
2. Also, does anyone have any experience towing more than a 1000lbs or close to it a long distance?
3. Why am i only getting 26 MPG's? I drive slow as hell. In Town.
Thanks in advance,

1. The Toyata Highlander gets 26 MPG BEST CASE SENARIO.
2. The MMH gets 26 MPG WORST CASE SENARIO.
3. The THH won't get 26 MPG in your driving conditions.
4. The THH costs $10,000 more.
5. The MMH can tow 1000 pounds forever, at any speed.
6. The MMH can tow 3500 pounds for short distances, at slower speed
7. I once saw a guy moving in his... over the Colorado Rockies 7% mountain grades. He had the largest U-Haul trailer on the market. He had 4 people in the car, and the car itself had luggage on the roof. He was going 55 miles per hour up a 7% grade. The car
will perform. It's just not recommended.
8. What is the weather like were you live. I assume it is below freezing. 26 MPG in below freezing is a good result.
