We have a 2018 Highlander Limited, 2nd Highlander, 07 totaled 7/2018. Our ne Limited has the tow package. Past 18 months, getting 25+ mpg driving at 65 Modesto, CA to Prescott, AZ.
Just got an enclosed trailer, moving to Prescott plan to ( keep with tow limits ) and start filling up storage in AZ while house is being built
picked up new trailer in Fresno, CA drove back to Turlock //// pretty much Flat land drive. Started off at 60 mph / 2,000 rpm. (16,7 mpg) not bad //// after about 40 miles, noticed the rpm had jumped to about 2800?.
I know the transmission is an 8 speed.
when I noticed the rpm’s had jumped = I pulled the gearshift to the left / trans had dropped to 5th gear???
for the rest of the way home, was able to work trans to move up gears and get back to the 2000 rpm’s
so, to you tow guys / gals.
what should I do in the future?
