Frequently Asked Questions?
Q: How do I verify my Highlander has the tow package?
A: Check your 2009-2010 Toyota Highlanders' VIN 5th digit for an "A" to confirm the 1AR FE engine. Look under the rear bumper for a trailer hitch and wiring. Inside, find a tow mode switch or indicator.
Q: What's different about the tow package engine?
A: The tow package for the 2009-2010 Toyota Highlander 2.7L engine adds a stronger cooling system and tougher parts. This helps your Highlander tow heavier loads without losing power or reliability.
Q: How often should the timing belt be changed on this engine?
A: The 1AR-FE engine uses a timing chain, not a timing belt. This is a significant advantage, as a timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine and does not require periodic, expensive replacement.
