I'm not sure about this maybe someone else can confirm. The "regular" '08 Highlander has an automatic 5 speed transmission while the Hybrid has one of those "CVT" type transmission. I'm under the impresion that the CVT type tramsmissions generate a lot more heat than the regular automatic transmission. This may be one factor contributing to the reduced towing capability of the hybrids.
