Do a search on "Highlander"...you should find a lot of prior comment. Also search on the equivalent Lexus model (LX300 or LX 330?).
Basically, the Highlander is marginal...probably OK for low altitude, flat terrain (east coast, midwest) but will work very hard on mountain roads. Especially western mountain roads. How heavily you load your trailer and vehicle will make a big difference in your towing experience.
