Easiest, best in my opinion...

Way back in the late '70s my BVI buddy had a front tow hitch on his
Jeep CJ??..
the short rough riding version with the stiff suspension.
He always claimed it was great for launching boats.
Not sure if I can get one for the Highlander.

Strike that, not seeing a front one for the Highlander there, but look
around. Call U-Haul, they would know.

Any place that installs tow bars for pulling behind an RV should be
able to handle it. The key is to locate the right attachment points.



I wonder if such a tow bar would be available for the Highlanders, which
are front wheel drive auto transmission vehicles. If you had the
Highlander with only front wheel drive, you could tow in on an auto
trailer dolly, of course, but attaching a tow bar to the front of that
car...isn't it monocoupe construction? Attachment points would be a big
problem. I'm just speculating here.
