I have a 4 wheel drive Toyoto Highlander which I would like to tow. I
have seen some kits online that can be installed to disengage the
transmission. Has any had any experience with the Highlander? Any
suggestions on how I should proceed....?
I just finished installing a Remco driveshaft disconnect in a Toyota Tacoma
pickup. We've
used it on a couple of trips so far and it has worked well so far. The
replacement
driveshaft and shifter mechanism ran almost $900. I had a Toyota shop install
the new
driveshaft and I did the shifter. Not too difficult.
I'm not familiar with the Highlander. If the 4X4 transfer case has a neutral
position (like a
Jeep Wrangler) you can probably tow it without a disconnect. If there is no
neutral
position for the transfer case, you'll want to install a Remco disconnect and
put the
transfer case in two wheel drive position with the transmission in "Park" for
towing.
If you decide you want to go with Remco, go to their website and see if they
offer a kit for
your make and model. You'll want to talk with them on the phone about the
specifics of
your vehicle before you order.
Good luck, Eric in San Antonio
