Dependable and comfortable

Bought this Highlander used almost 9 years ago and only had one mechanical issue during these 9 years. Outside of maintenance items that is. This issue was a blown oil lower oil line. This line was originally a rubber line and the replacement line aluminum alloy I was told. 253,000 miles and still runs and drives great. Paint has held up nicely and so has the frame and underbody. Vehicle is 13 years old and we still get positive comments on it, even from the mechanics who do the maintenance on it. I would highly recommend this generation of Highlander and honestly even the previous generation. Keep the fluids changed and routine maintenance and enjoy the ride.

Most Practical SUV You Can Cuy.

Toyota has proven that they put a lot of thought into their design with every cubic inch of the inside being carefully thought out. Seat comfort is great, leg room is never an issue, even for a 5'8" adult in the 3rd row. 2nd row recline is much easier to operate than the competitors. The car handles exceptionally, even with 19" wheels in 6 to 8" of snow, with the snow button on it is hard to make the car lose control. Hands free controls and individual climate controls are a plus. I am convinced for the money and the quality of this vehicle, you won't find a better car. From it's lower priced "rivals" from Kia & GM to overpriced imports such as Acura and Lexus, the Highlander is IT!

Great, but not perfect

Now is a great time to buy - we got $5,000 off MSRP on our loaded Highlander. You get a lot of value for the money (as expected with Toyota). Utility is VERY good - tons of storage space, which is perfect for a family. Fit and Finish are fantastic.

Bad Tires

Found the Dueler OEM tires dangerous in the snow. Tried to find the only good alternative made which is a Toyo HT, but these are on long backorder. Vehicle also developed rattles which I could have lived with despite the tire situation. Traded it out already with only 3800 miles on it. Poor engineering by Toyota to put a poor traction tire on an SUV sold in the upper midwest with no alternatives.

Bought to replace 2000 Mercedes ML320. Little bit roomier, more like a station wagon. Cost about same as Mercedes did in 2000. Very comfortable and quiet, handles well. Ergonomics of controls are strange, i.e. GPS/Bluetooth/Radio controls difficult to sort out. So far no regrets.
