What is the Highlander Hybrid towing capacity?

Over the years, I’ve become way more eco-conscious. While I’m not ready to go all-electric quite yet, I need a vehicle that pairs great fuel economy with excellent towing. I have my eye on the Highlander Hybrid, but I’m not sure if it meets both criteria. How much can the Highlander Hybrid tow?

A hybrid vehicle is an awesome way to balance eco-friendliness and power and even get a
tax credit
. Plus, the
Highlander Hybrid
doesn’t skimp on the power. The Highlander Hybrid towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, which is enough for small trailers and campers.
With this vehicle, you can get an impressive 36 mpg on the highway and 35 mpg in the city, which is excellent for a three-row SUV. The key to the mix of power and efficiency lies in the vehicle’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a nickel-metal-hydride battery. Not only is it fuel efficient, but the powertrain also produces 243 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.
If the 3,500-pound towing capacity isn’t enough for your needs, the gas-powered Highlander offers 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.
