Just picked up 2013 Toyota Highlander limited same color inside and out with 55,000 miles 1 owner no accidents mint condition clean carfax, loving it 😍
Love my 08 highlander. Perfect car for me. Also you didn't touch on reliability. If you don't mind fixing a broken cup holder every couple hundred thousand miles then this is the car for you. 100% would recommend.
Love our 2012 Highlander which I purchased for my fiance to drive. Out of all of the vehicles on the lot it was the one that excited her. Everything else was nope... nope... hold on a sec... hello. Dark blue, tan leather, sunroof and the 3.5 V6. It has been an absolute joy for her to drive the past 3 years and is definitely one of her treasured possessions. With a 129,000 miles on it now it still runs great. Reasonably economical with over 21 Mpg highway if we keep it under the speed limit and she averages around 18 driving it locally. Took it in for a inspection and they had to keep it over night to replace the rear brake rotors and pads. They gave us a brand new (just off the truck) Chevy Trax AWD as a loner. It is a ok vehicle but not the Highlander that she enjoys. We will keep it for years to come with just routine maintenance.
Unlike me, you picked the Highlander with the correct engine. I bought a 2012 Highlander with the 2.7L inline 4 cylinder engine which is a piece of crap. The engineers screwed up when they manufactured the pistons and rings that allowed oil blow by. I real nightmare. Everything else about the Highlander is great. Just wished I had bought the V-6 Engine.
I bought my wife a 2007 to replace our troublesome Chrysler minivan, while we missed some of the features that the minivan offered, we certainly enjoy the reliability and sturdiness. It's an awd model with the v6. The only thing I've had to replace is the alternator and tires. The last owner had installed new brakes before we purchased it with only 120k, it now sits at around 166k. Absolutely great vehicle. I daily a 2006 Saturn Relay level 3, and I keep dreaming of stepping up to a newer highlander. Just 10 more house payments and I can:) We go camping and our 2007 is just big enough to accommodate us and our gear. I wouldn't mind a little more space and the newer ones are a little bigger. Not by much but with camping every inch counts!
I had a 2012 highlander limited and I absolutely loved it. It was stolen out of my driveway and the cops found it totalled 2 blocks from my house. I have a 2018 highlander limited now and it's nice but honestly....I'd rather have my 2012
I have the 2011 Highlander SE Sport Utility model, tons of space! i just purchased the TRD style grill with the retro looking letters on the grill instead of the toyota emblem, cant wait to install!
Forgot to mention second row middle seat can be removed and stored under the front console. 4:38, See the compartment just under the rear air-con controls. Later model Highlander, Kluger as we call it in Australia, do not have this. Plus the foot handbrake is crap, that went out in the 70's. Apart from the handbrake, my 2010 Kluger V6 2wd brought new wth now 200,000 klms on the clock, is the ducks nuts!
I have a 2013. Love all about it except the beeping for locking/unlocking. It is embarrassing in public. It is particularly loud well after dark. When the night is pin quiet, the beeping is as disruptive as a tornado siren.
It is pretty slow and rare. It's reliable but it is just too underpowered since the car weighs around 4500 pounds. I'd suggest the 3.5 but if you are the only one using maybe the 4 cylinder might work

Remember this is the last version where they have full time AWD, subsequent models are part time AWD. This version you have 50/50 power distribution all the time
I love my new 2020 Toyota Highlander. But this 2nd generation model has always been the most attractive to me. Really clean sleek design.
Damn, that's interesting. I think the 1st gen looks great but I see the Land Cruiser influence in the 2nd gen HL
@@colormesarge I had a 2005 Limited and I sold it when my parents moved in with another SUV. Hope to get one of these 2013's, really nice car.
I love it!

@@mourill3782 no way man, but good luck to you. They hold their value well. I'm at 120 and have only recently had to do the water pump.
@@GeoZeppelin1979 Not really off roading like boulders and mud hills. But off trailing I guess, it's not the best clearance.

I'm thinking about getting the hybrid version :O which still has a 3.5 V6
careful with high mileage hybrid
I have a 2008 highlander 130,000 miles no problems at all.... leather seats still look new.
Just about the same situation here. I love it!

The middle sear between the two captain chairs can be removed and stored on board easily.

Great review. Honestly my favorite on UA-cam for the 2nd gen Highlander 👍🏼

I guess he didn't know about the secret center console that you can use instead of the middle center row seat.
I was thinking the same thing. Such a cool easter egg

This man is very nice helpful and very good
I have 2013 Toyota Highlander 48,000 miles for sale but I changing my mind
I have a 2013. Love all about it except the beeping for locking/unlocking. It is embarrassing in public. It is particularly loud well after dark. When the night is pin quiet, the beeping is as disruptive as a tornado siren.
Lol.... Yes a good point
That can be turned off
I was going to say “that can be turned off”, but someone already said it… what ever, saves me the time it would have taken for me to write a comment.
If your embarrassed over a quick noise no one probably cares about you have issues 😂😂😂😂
I dont agree with the limited cargo capacity, you can carry cargo with the roof rails.
I have a 2009 limited, built-in-Japan baby. Runs like new @ 130k
Goodness, it's to bad that the Highlanders body style wasn't more like this generation
Huh?
Can I find a video that breaks down the different models, geez the difference between the XLE, LIMITED, SE, and etc.
Can you please do a third gen Lexus RX review? (2011-2015)... can you also find a 2013+ (face-lifted) model 🙃👍🏼 Thanks!
If I can get a hold of one I definitely will!
How much is highlander 2013 model ?
Middle seat in the 2nd row too small is a deal breaker for me!
2.7 engine highlander is it coming in limited edition?
Who has this car for sale... I prefer to buy directly from an owner. Car dealers sucks!
I am thinking of selling my 08 Limited 4wd ..but I cannot make up my mind I still love it ..some how I wanna trade in for new Tacoma
@@donxaisky-channel2436 no such thing a 4WD highlander. Its AWD
Is sport mode the fastest mode for this car?
Probably lol
Great info! Thank you!!
the only MAJOR downside of this is the lack of 4lo gearbox
@@ConsoleCombat what does that help with
@@ConsoleCombat oh okay gotcha
Any one know if the 2.7l 4 cylinder in the highlander was a reliable engine or if it had any issues? And was it slow?
It is pretty slow and rare. It's reliable but it is just too underpowered since the car weighs around 4500 pounds. I'd suggest the 3.5 but if you are the only one using maybe the 4 cylinder might work

Just get the hybrid man :D
My wife and I have had an FWD ‘11 Highlander with the 2.7 liter since new, and it now has 185,000 miles on it. Very little oil consumption (
@Joe Dietz looking to buy a used one under 100k miles but don't know now if 2.7 is the way to go. I just always rather have 4 cylinders.
19,000
Is this for sale ? 500$ off for the dent above the driver side handle.?
I believe its still for sale. You can check it out and contact the dealer on their website at wholesaleautoconnection.com
Please do the pilots for these years too ..
$ 20.000
you tried but poor video coverage and poor explanation seriously i see this as waste of data
That is not true. You are a sadist and jealous ibo boy
The 4ruuner is best for things like off-roading camping skiing whatever and the Highlander is best for taking kids to soccer practice
This models exterior just looks so weak, boring to me. Hope this Video convinces me to buy one.
Drive one. That'll be enough to convince you.
