    2007 Highlander to tow 16 ft. Boston Whaler?

    I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander with towing package, 215 hp rated for 3500 lbs. towing capacity and 350 lbs. tongue weight. I'm thinking about getting a 16 ft. 1975 Boston Whaler. I think it weighs about 1200 lbs. plus a 70 hp motor and fuel. I normally drive 1 hour or a little more to the lake and would like to make a few beach trips each year with the boat. Do you think the Highlander will be OK to tow this boat?

    You will have no problem pulling your rig with the Highlander.
