Front bumper came off driving down Interstate

Friday, August 4, 2023, driving down the Interstate, I heard a loud noise followed by dragging/wobbling. I pulled over expecting a flat tire, to instead find the front bumper of my car had been sucked underneath my car. The bottom of the bumper was still attached, but the entire top had folded down and was being dragged. Being unable to remove it on the side of the road, I bungee-corded it on and drove the 10 miles home. Took it to Toyota Monday morning and they blamed it on a design flaw, but that Toyota would not cover the replacement. Car is less than a year old; never involved in an accident; never driven off road. If the bumper is that faulty and Toyota won't stand behind something like that, I don't need to be driving it. Car will be traded in promptly and I will not purchase another Toyota again. Silly to lose a customer over a bumper, but when Customer service doesn't exist, there's no reason to stay.

Rolling again

Just replaced a 2018 Highlander due to accident. Of course the car is comfortable and nice to drive but I especially appreciate it after the accident. The 2018 was totaled because of a head on collision. My wife and I only had minor injuries that I attribute to the strength of the vehicle and the air bags that completely isolated us.

Phenomenal! Love my

I bought at the worst possible time in early 2022. I paid $3500 OVER sticker thanks to an added "up-charge" due to supply and demand issues. (All dealers are doing this, not just Toyota). My minivan was totaled and I needed something ASAP. My 2022 XLE with XP package is absolutely gorgeous with 20 inch gloss black rims, performance tires, blacked-out emblems, and running boards (perfect for kids, older folks and the otherwise vertically challenged). Very roomy and comfortable for four adults or families with 2 or 3 kids. I have the 2nd row bench seat which offers maximum seating space. The rear captain’s chairs are nice but Toyota put drink holders in between the seats instead of incorporating them into the rear of the driver’s console. This limits storage space between the seats (was a perfect spot for a cooler in my minivan) and limits accessibility to the third row. I wouldn’t depend on the 3rd row for daily use. It’s undersized and tricky to access but that’s not an issue for us. Folded flat, it offers a ton of easily accessible rear storage space. Cargo space is otherwise pretty limited if 3rd row seat is in use. One problem is the button to close the back gate is located on the bottom of the tailgate. This makes it impossible to reach for anyone under 5’2” so kids will need the assistance of an adult (XLE and lower models, higher models have hands-free power liftgate). It’s loaded with safety features thanks to the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS 2.5+) that comes standard. Perfect for inexperienced or otherwise safety-challenged drivers but features can be disabled. Through the Toyota app, I can monitor driver behavior and location when someone else is using the car. I can even set up “guest driver” restrictions like speed and distance. I really love the way it drives! The ride is smooth, quiet, and comfortable with a luxury feel. For a mid-sized SUV, the turning radius is small, making u-turns and sharp or tight corners a breeze. Steering is very responsive making it easy to maneuver through city traffic and park in tricky spaces. And it is quite fast! Even in the Eco driving mode which adds 2 mpg. Gas mileage is amazing at 21 city/ 29 highway (my much slower minivan averaged 18 mpg). As another reviewer mentioned, the back window is quite small, making rear visibility poor. And the rear seat headrests are in the way which is frustrating. The pros more than make up for the very few cons. Additional features include a wireless charger, 14 cup holders, sunroof/moonroof, heated and power front seats, multiple Usb-A and C ports, and rear sunshades.

The best XLE Highlander we’ve had.

We’ve leased 4 Highlanders in the last 10-years. We trade them in for new ones when they get to around 30k miles. We decided to buyout our 2019 Highlander because getting a new one with the chip shortage was near impossible and the pricing was WAY over list. Consumer Reports rated the 2019 highly for a used SUV. I present this background because the 2022 XLE is awesome…and worth the extra money. It is high-tech…the drivers side feels more like the cockpit of a small plane. Seats are very comfortable and so far, the features seem to be well positioned unlike the other models we’ve had. There is no GPS…but if you have a cell phone it is not needed. The rear window on the tailgate would open on the 2019…not on the 2022 and if I have a complaint, this might be it. It’s quick, comfortable and it looks better…front to back then the 2019. Highly recommend!

I traded my 2017 rx 350 sport in, for a 2022 highlander platinum. Wow just wow. The highlander rides on the new updated platform. The ride is superior to my old Lexus. Much more room, due to the new platform. Features galore. My rx was nice but can’t hold a candle to this highlander. Toyota outdone there self again. For those comparing the two. The 2022 highlander has the same engine and awd system as the 2022 rx. Yes torque vectoring awd wow. This truck is a joy to drive. 12,000 miles later, absolutely flawless. Zero issues or concerns. Love this vehicle. 1 complaint, 2023 ditches the smooth v6. I will keep this one, for ever. I believe mistake toyota.
