I have a 2011 Highlander Limited and have not had to remove the spare tire. Thanks for the tutorial. I would have hunted for the lowering nut for a long time without your instructions.
Thank you. My wife's Highlander had a loose shroud. Best way to get at it was to drop the spare. I had never done this before. Your video was an awesome guide
Peter, some people put the spare tire on wrong so they can easily get to the valve stem because they don’t know about the different ways to put air into it. Some of them are even mechanics that should know better.
Thank you for this video! I had no idea about any of these tools or how to use them. Too bad when I bought my Highlander, I was missing the spare tire socket so I couldn't even use the spare.
The 12yr.-old original spare is ready for replacement, and the TPMS sensor in it probably is, too. The full-size spare came on all of the trim levels back then; we have a 2011 Highlander (Base-2.7liter, 2WD) w/225K miles on it, that’s still going strong.
I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander base model with 314,000.km. Nice to see that Califonia vehicle with little to no rust. I live in Nova Scotia so mine has a bit more rust. We use snow tires here so I usually lower my spare down twice a year to check out the tire and grease the lowering cable. Great video!
I had a 1988 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck that had the spare tire up underneath the back and I had a flat tire amazing the original Tire still held air and I could take it out with the long crank rod lowering the cable.
Oh jesus! Youre pulling out a highlander at the perfect time, im having an issue with a shaky steering wheel when im braking. I have been told its the rotor that is warped. Would you have any other possibilities in mind before i go drop 200+ on rotors and brakes. 😭😭😭
Supposedly he doesn’t answer comments, doesn’t have time. Change your rotors with after market rotors but, get your pads from Toyota. If you have it done, it will cost $300 to $350.
ONLY when braking? Yes like Slalom said, rotors. If you are doing it yourself, you can take the rotors off and bring to someone to machine the rotors if they are OEM and within thickness minimums. If the pads are still good, you can take some sandpaper or emery cloth and wet sand the glaze off to match the new rotor surface. Use brake clean on all of it of course. That's if the pads are still usable.
My issue is that it is difficult to access the valve stem of the spare if u need to put air in it. So, if your spare gets low tire pressure, u would need to lower the spare to air it up
I enjoyed the video but most of all the explanation of the valve stem access . That is easier to check the spare tire pressure than on my cars with the spare in the trunk.
All these steps because Toyota wanted to make that stupid 3rd row seat for bratty kids. The spare should be inside the vehicle. Hey Toyota !! STOP making the Highlander a PEOPLE HAULER and make it a SPORTY SUV. The engineers at Toyota must have watched a Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoon to come up with this idea. _Beep Beep_
@@unkldamo True enough, but think of all the older moms out there who would struggle with having to do all that when they could just open the hatch, lift a cover and BOOM! Theirs your spare all ready to go with the jack underneath-Simple, Clean and & Easy. Everybody wants to re-invent the wheel just to stake their claim on innovation, instead of leaving well enough alone and using what works best.
Thanks for the tutorial, I have the Hybrid model and can't figure out how to stow away the cargo cover because of the 12V battery in the trunk, does anyone else have the same problem? The manual does not help either.
you never answered if youve done a video on replacing the bearings on a 2012 hilux, you liked my comment but gave no answer… DO YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOS ON A HILUX AT ALL? is that an easier question to answer

Excellent!! Thank you so much. Most, if not all guys in tire shops in my area don’t know this.

Thank you for fixing Grandma Kim's car, Peter!
-Little Jessica 🤸🏼♀️
i was absolutely wondering how that dangling thing worked under my truck, thank you for this, now I will actually put my spare down there!
Thanks Peter. I learned from you to check spare when the low tire pressure light illuminates.

Yeah, the reason has to be something like that alright 👍
Ur video was a lifesaver, I had my tire upside down, 😂, thank u so much for sharing
Video was perfect all levels. Enjoyed your friendly spirit too. Thank you!

Excellent tips Brother!! Have a Great Week.
Great video, Peter. Thank you Sir.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍
Great video. Very informative and details
Now I know where my squeaky noise is coming from I will tighten back spare until I hear click, thank you 😂
Hi Peter my Highlander has a plastic cover over the spare wheel to protect it. Is that missing on your customers one?
I wonder if that is an optional extra, pretty sure he would have mentioned that, definitely something he would have remarked on 👍
I have a 2013 Highlander limited with 57k and don’t see a cover for spare tire 🤔
Maybe this is only fitted to New Zealand models. It is shown in the owners handbook.

Very Helpful Thanks

If you respond, THANK YOU! If not we'll THANK YOU anyways for the awesome Toyota content you put up.

What if i lost the nut to release the spare tire ?

'All these steps' took me AT LEAST 7 minutes. 😢 FYI ~ See: Tacoma, Tundra, Land Cruiser, RAV4 and ....... RUNNER?! 😮🫢

the spare location is similar to my 70's Landcruiser !

Peter, flip the handle so it points up. Then you can spin it down faster
painful watching him spinning it upside down lol
you never answered if youve done a video on replacing the bearings on a 2012 hilux,

DO YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOS ON A HILUX AT ALL? is that an easier question to answer
I guess the 2012s don't have the plastic cover over the spare underneath like the 01-07 YIKES, Road Salt Nightmare for the rim.
Ugh on the side of the road at night tearing that apart to lower the tire. Geeeze. Keep a can of Fix A Flat handy but a blowout changes everything,
Yes, first to view !!! Great content, keep it coming.
Those people not driving that car at all
Gram's car
Petr, With the exception of pickup trucks, I cannot see the point of an exposed spare carried beneath the car.. 🤨
Space
Get your breath back before you record man so slow and hard to watch this had to find another guide.
Horrible system... shame on toyota.. considering highlanders are driven majorily by women...
