Thank you for posting!!!
I've been one of the purveyors of doubt regarding the Highlander's towing abilities in the mountains, so it is fantastic hearing first hand someone's account to the contrary. I have to admit that these doubts have served nicely as an excuse to keep my wife from planning trips all over the place, and I know that once I show her this posting, she'll be googling destinations out west.
Again, we thank you for sharing your experiences. I just rented a 8 X 12 enclosed all-steel utility trailer yesterday to haul bedroom furniture up to my daughters apartment for her senior year in college (and she filled it up right to the rear doors), and I was pleasantly surprised at the Highlander's performance; as expected though, the acceleration was impacted.
