Didn't I say 2000lbs?


Actually, on the way back from the dealer it was 1930 lbs. according to a highway weigh station




!0 to 15 % is the accepted ratio. You are a tad low. Where you place

your batteries fuel and gear might change the ratio a bit. If your

vehicle is sagging, you might try helper springs or spring shocks.


Up here they recommend 8-12%

As long as it tows straight at highway speeds with no tendency to sway
or fishtail, your tongue weight should be OK.

It feels perfect and is set up by the dealer. Even with the smaller RAV4, it towed level like a dream...I expect even better with the more powerful Highlander.

A better question might be, why bother reading the posts of or
responding to the snarly people here who are nothing but nattering
nabobs of negativity?
