I read the thread above but did not see anything on a WDH. The Toyota owner's manual cautions not to use a weight distributing hitch? FWIW I tow a 2007 2720SL with a Jeep Liberty V6 with tow package and an Ez Lift WDH. The Jeep Liberty is not an ideal tow vehicle but it has been getting the job done for me. I've towed up some pretty good grades at 60 mph (or more) with the engine winding up to 4500 rpm or so but no problems with power or with overheating the engine or tranny (O/D off). The Liberty has a claimed 5000 tow capacity. I'd prefer a longer wheelbase (Liberty is only 104 inches) and V8 power but the Liberty is what I have and it does work. I have not towed at any altitude to speak of though and would have to expect a real drop off in power if and when I do. I would not want to tow with this TV however without a WDH.
