This was the most informative and professional Tutorial i have ever watched. I just purchased my Highlander Limited and had it delivered to me today so I wasn't able to have the dealer go over all this stuff with me. Very helpful! thank you
I finally got a Highlander Hybrid that came in (limited rather than platinum, but I didn't want to wait another seven months or more). This was fantastic! Thank you for giving me a tour of my new car! Just the right pace and exactly what I needed!
I have a ‘21 Platinum for the last two years. I really like it! On the highway the adaptive cruise control is awesome. The car drives itself. Nice smooth ride with a nice interior. Close to Lexus quality. 27.5 MPG doing 70 mph. I have a 19 year old Lexus too..everything still works on the SUV and it’s smooth as butter. Toyota/Lexus know how to make vehicles.
Toyota is definitely dependable, reliable, and safety built! Well explained on an excellent SUV! Thank you for sharing this for all of us Brian! Mark in Iowa.
Brian does such a nice job on his videos that 3 weeks ago I bought a 2022 Highlander Platinum Hybrid AWD in the magnetic grey metallic with the black interior.
@@lc7192 Good for you! I was super happy with my 2019 Camry XSE that I bought new 3 years ago. This last Saturday I traded that in for a 2021 Camry XSE Hybrid! What an amazing car! I appreciate your reply! Mark.
As always, great level of details..! Executed perfectly ! 👍👍 It’s the same exterior color ( Celestial Silver) I have but it’s ‘21 Highlander hybrid, AWD XLE. Also my interior color is Black.
@@stephaniesantiago475 I contacted the dealership and they sent me a list of incoming vehicles with a rough delivery date. It took about 3 weeks from my date of selection. Each dealership is different though!
Wow! Finally the most in depth video. We just ordered a 2023 limited - platinum package (we’re in canada) we purchased the caramel leather interior and this is the first video where I can actually SEE what I’m going to get this spring. Although we weren’t able to secure a hybrid it’s a big upgrade from my 2015 corolla. I believe there’s a few small tech changes in 2023? But over all looks pretty much the same?
Congrats! Thanks for watching. Yes two main changes. 1.) engine went from 3.5L V6 to a 4cyl turbo 2.) infotainment system is upgraded to Toyotas new system which is faster and simpler! You’re going to love it. Can’t wait to see the 23s and film them.
Just purchased a '22 Highlander Limited today. Was amazed at the different menu options available. Even our 2010 Lexus RX350 doesn't have this many ergonomic adjustments. Was surprised to learn that the ECO button should stay on and not off. Our RX 350 has non adjustable ECO which always stays on. Definitely missing the CD Player in the Highlander but understand why it's no longer available.
Thank you so much. Hopefully there is a Tutorial of the 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited. But I believe most of the functional features are the same as 2022 model.
Brian, Please also show the country or state where the vehicle was originally manufactured, it would help a lot in my decision factor . Good video. Thanks for this video.very informative. !!!
Excellent tutorial! This is one of the most comprehensive tutorials that I have seen for Highlander Limited. I have the Highlander 2021 Limited and have been looking for this type of tutorial. I have a complaint about one feature on the Highlander Limited...the location of the Hold Button is in a dangerous location. It is right next to the passenger seat and cup holder. Twice, my dog placed his paw there unintentionally and I came to a halt and didn't know what had happened to the car. My friend had the same experience with her child who was sitting in a car seat next to her and the child pressed the button accidentally as she was reaching for her drink in the cup holder. Toyota needs to find a different location to place this button. It could cause an accident.
Thanks for the Limited Highlander review. I picked up 1 last Saturday replacing a 2018 limited platinum. Love the 2022. Just wish it had wireless apple car play.
Great Tutorials thank you. Do you have any opinion as a towing vehicle, the old 6 cylinder versus the new turbo 4 cylinders in the 23s. I was sorry to see they changed. I realize they still have a 5,000 tow weight but I just wonder how much more stressful Towing is on the smaller engine. Thanks for any help
Thanks for watching! I think it will be fine if what you’re towing is within Toyotas specs. Toyota has done a ton of research before choosing the 4cyl turbo.
Brian - Is there a way to get rid of the safety message that pops up on the screen every time the car is turned over and one has to either push or wait for it to disappear? Thanks!
@@brianruperti The visual that comes on as soon as the vehicle is started reminding me of Safety and a big continue button on the bottom right corner of the now annoying welcome screen.
I am trying to choose between the Platinum or Limited gas and hybrids. I do less than 8,OOO miles a year. Is it worth paying more for a hybrid? I do mainly, city driving.
@@brianruperti thanks for your quick response, please give your opinion about these rims. Are these kind of rims strong enough?? What about the rim's life??
We have a 2021 XSE and it being the third model from the top, it does not have memory seats or 360 camera or the foot hatch release or ventilated seats. You have to buy either the Limited or the Platinum for those options.
Yes I do also wish XSE had more for the money but I must admit the driving capabilities and torque vectoring AWD helps me forget the lack of memory and ventilated.
Great review Brian! I'm actually looking into getting a Limited. Question: does the LTD have auto folding mirrors? Thanks---I'll need to watch this again if I get one. :)
We just purchased this car and are very excited. Thanks for your super helpful review! We noticed that the climate control is always present on the extended screen and can't figure out how to remove it from the screen . It feels redundant, since all the same controls are on the buttons right below the screen. are we missing something? do you know how to remove them from the screen? thanks!
Hey congrats and I’m glad to help! Right now I don’t think it can be removed and yes it is a redundancy. If I learn something about taking it off I will update you!
Brian.. thanks for all of your awesome videos that you do.. I was wondering if you would happen to know how to clean up the little scratches on the radio touchscreen on a 22 highlander? I noticed that it doesnt take much to make little scratches on the piano black.
Your videos helped me in my decision to get a 22 Highlander. Yeah the scratches aren’t too bad it’s just fine. Not like it’s really bad it’s just me. I’m very particular and picky.
Hi, great content. I thought for 2022 highlander limited getting bench seat in the second row. Can you confirm if your testing vehicle has captain chairs by default?
Does the dealer you work for mark up their Toyotas? I’m asking because I’m in the market for a 2022 Highlander XLE, AWD, White with Beige interior and I would consider purchasing from dealer you work for. Thanks
I hope Toyota has fixed the glare on the flat screens. The 2017 HILANDER’s screen reflects strong glare that really bothers the vision when the sun hits directly from the front passenger window. I added anti glare film and did not work.
2 things I’ve found that aren’t good on this SUV. 1. The driver side outside mirror has to be reset each time even though the preset works. The mirror returns to a different spot which needs adjusting. 2. The rear hatch kick sensor doesn’t work about 90% of the time for unknown reasons.
Hello there, if it's not too much to ask, I just recently purchased a 2022 highlander and I'm afraid it's a lemon. Would you mind providing me with some feedback? I've got videos uploaded on my page of two of the issues that Toyota techs have said the issues are 'normal' 😔. Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
Test both if possible. In a different review an observation was that the seats in the XSE are less comfortable. Or get one trim now and the other one in five years
@@brianruperti OK, I’m bringing my truck in for a hitch to be installed as a we owe deal that I did with Toyota Saturday, I’ll ask them then. Thanks again for the video. Really helped. 👍👍
@@brianruperti we got a great deal on our '22 Limited Edition.. Only 5K on the odometer and got $8K for our '10 Lexus RX 350 which came to about $43K for the Limited Edition. No hassle with the dealer either. They let the SUV sell itself.
Toyota needs a prime option to replace this V6 ASAP. The Hybrid is the only way to go with the Highlander. Gas is going to $4 per gallon. Unless your a millionaire and/or drive very little the V6 is not an option.
@@brianruperti Have a look at the oil price today. Increase $7 / barrel. All cars sold in Europe will be hybrid or electric. Europe will need to convert to electric cars and heating and not depend on Russian Oil.
CAUTION/ALERT: don't apply any kind of tire dressing on the tires to give it a "SHOWROOM LOOK." It spins off onto the chrome -looking wheels. These wheels are very hard to clean because of so MANY SURFACE ANGLES. They look great when cleaned though.

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 and you have a fine one yourself
10/10 best vlog
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Recently read somewhere that the wheels are actually a plastic coating (Chrometec)and not chrome plated as they appear to be.
What a fantastic video. thank you.
Thank you so much plz consider sharing it with family and friends! 🙏🏼
I have a 2022 Highlander Limited on order. It's scheduled to be built on 4/21. It'll be my first ever V6 and I can't wait!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info!
Congrats!!!
How long did it take for you to receive the car?
@@stephaniesantiago475 I contacted the dealership and they sent me a list of incoming vehicles with a rough delivery date. It took about 3 weeks from my date of selection. Each dealership is different though!
Very well elaborated. Thank you!

Hey congrats on the LTD!! I hope you enjoy it for many miles
Great review… but was waiting for the test drive.
Thanks! Sorry I can’t drive all of them because if they’re sold I have to keep them on ground but thank you for watching
Thank you for responding I would’ve never thought of that…. great job
@@user-Vegas1 thanks!
Thank you so much. Hopefully there is a Tutorial of the 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited.
But I believe most of the functional features are the same as 2022 model.
Thank you for watching!
Brian, Please also show the country or state where the vehicle was originally manufactured, it would help a lot in my decision factor . Good video. Thanks for this video.very informative. !!!
Thank you for watching
If the vin # starts with a J it was made in Japan I think
They are made in Princeton, Indiana.
I like the starter noise! Would have been nice to see hood struts.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Great video, no need to spend time at dealership to learn these things! Thanks
Thank you
Just bought one! This should be required viewing!
Thank you!
Very good and precise explanation. R U the sales guy? Which dealer pls?
Thanks where you from?
Very nice video! Informative and not rushed. Beautiful car.
Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for the support! And also thanks for the feedback. Car seats and dogs should be in the back seats though no?
Nice overview. Would have been nice for a drive showing cruise and lane following, etc.
Thanks will keep in mind for future reviews

@@brianruperti The visual that comes on as soon as the vehicle is started reminding me of Safety and a big continue button on the bottom right corner of the now annoying welcome screen.
The “defrost wires in the side window “ is the radio antenna.
😢My dream is ruined! Thanks for updating my knowledge!
I heard the 2022 Toyota Highlander Limited Hybrid is not available with the bench seat, is this true? Thanks for your reviews !!!
Only captains chairs and thanks!
I am trying to choose between the Platinum or Limited gas and hybrids. I do less than 8,OOO miles a year. Is it worth paying more for a hybrid? I do mainly, city driving.
Yea. Get the hybrid and platinum is amazing. If you can afford the platinum get it, you’ll love the platinum hybrid very much.
Hi there
Can you please describe about the wheels (rims) a little bit briefly. What material are these rims made of??
Are these metallic??
It's called Chrometec, where a plastic cover is permanently bonded to the aluminum alloy wheel
@@brianruperti thanks for your quick response, please give your opinion about these rims.
Are these kind of rims strong enough?? What about the rim's life??
The rims are nice and yes they are strong but what do you mean by strong enough?
They will last the life of the vehicle.
Hi there. Thanks it's very informative.. we just ordered the XSE. Question does the settings for drivers seat have 2drivers settings options?
Thanks for watching! Congrats as well. The XSE to my knowledge will not contain dear memory though I don’t know yet if this is changing for 2023
We have a 2021 XSE and it being the third model from the top, it does not have memory seats or 360 camera or the foot hatch release or ventilated seats. You have to buy either the Limited or the Platinum for those options.

Nope!
Can the radio stations be changed from the steering wheels?
Yes using the seek/track buttons
Does all new 2022 highlander have autostart build with the car
If they have audio plus and up, they come with remote connect “trial”
@@brianruperti so that mean it have autostart
You can get xle with upgraded audio and pay less why to go platinum and limited
Because I want my cooled seats, parking sonar all around, and panoramic moonroof 😎
Does the driver seat rise up & down for short people ???
Yes
Do you know of a way to remote control the windows up/down? Heard the feature is available.
Not sure I think it’s a hidden programmable feature at service center but haven’t tried it on my personal vehicle

Toyota needs a prime option to replace this V6 ASAP. The Hybrid is the only way to go with the Highlander. Gas is going to $4 per gallon. Unless your a millionaire and/or drive very little the V6 is not an option.
