I went by my dealer seeking information about the 2008 Highlander Hybrids. He said that Toyota have still not released ordering information to the dealers. He figures one to two more months because they want to clear out the 07's first. He was not confirm the towing capability of the 08's but he said that his reading of the press release implies that it will be a 5000 lb truck.

I asked to be put on the list when they are available for order. I guess I will just have to gut it up and buy one sight unseen. I figure that is the only way I will get one. My wife has annexed the 07 completely!

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.
