thank you scotty for letting me bring my car to you! fixed the struts, car drives much nicer!!
How much he charge you?

Scotty! The timing for this video is quite interesting, I am getting ready to sell my 2005 V6 Limited Highlander with 250k miles, but it looks and drives like it has half that! Now you’re making me second guess my decision. Thanks for an excellent video!
I got a 2022 V6 before they went to the 4 cylinder.
The newest Highlander I’ll ever own is the ‘22 V6 model. They killed a great car for me with that turbo 4.

I saw on a UA-camr channel that shows cars that come in for junk or scrap! And a gorgeous 1 owner 77 year old women drove her 2007 Lexus SUV had 265k miles she drove to Arizona from Chicago every other week to see her kids-grandkids
She junked it cuz the steering would be extremely loose faster you drove! U could turn wheel halfway either way and it will still go straight!
She said dealer gave her a $4,400 repair estimate and she wasn’t able to pay that. So junked it.
Well junk yard looked at it and put sway bar links and stable bar and lower/upper control bushing and fixed it for less then $400 and sold it online.
Lesson number one don’t go to the Steelership🍆
So, in other words, they robbed her. Nice.
Old ladies are easy to lie to I guess, especially when it comes to cars.
Dealership was trying to rip her off but the junkyard came out ahead.
Hey scotty, been watching you for quite a while now. And I've learned a lot from you just want to say I appreciate you and what you do. Joe from California Toyota Highlander owner
Just noticed the book “Endurance” on your bookshelf. Amazing story about Sir Ernest Shackleton!
The 3.5 Toyota Highlander is a great midsize SUV. Run forever!
Midsize??
Love mine! And yes, midsized. Just like the Explorer
@@paulahunt3508 Yes, midsize crossover for the time. Now that being said, vehicles have gotten bigger and the old Highlanders share a footprint more similar to the current RAV4. So if you gauged it by today's standards. It would be more like a Compact Crossover, like the RAV4 or CRV. However, today's Highlanders would still fall under midsize, though on the lower end. With the Grand Highlander/New Pilot being more close to the American standard of "mid-size".
You don't get full size until you get to the Sequoia and to be fair, even that is on the lower end of "full-size". Most Japanese manufacturers make smaller vehicles compared to American ones. When it comes to the American brands, you got plenty of full size SUVs. Like the Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon and others.
Amazing crossover truck man use to be body on frame though
yessir!
UA-cam artificially makes 1080p videos run bad. Anyone else noticing that? Was never a problem before. Now it is.

I think Toyota is setting up the market to say, look we tried turbo on trucks it didn't work we have to go back to 6 and 8 cylinder engines in trucks.
same as Toyota and EV's they are ramping up more EV because of Tesla sales numbers, Hybrids were the complete plans
That's why I bought a '24 4runner with the ole V6. After coming off of a ford ecoboost which needed a 3rd engine in 11 years.
@@brandonlesgo9563 ecojunk more like it.
@@DavidWX877There are countless examples of those with both motors hitting 2-300K miles.
Theres a 19 2.7 with almost 500K. My boss pulled my loaded semi (80k lbs) that got stuck with a first gen 3.5. Eco’s are used as oil field vehicles all over the country
@@DavidWX877L😂L
I test drove a late model highlander with a turbo v4. Very weak.
To small of a motor for a large suv wonder how long that little motor will last?
Don't take the bikes away because of a few bad apples. I have an e-bike and love riding an abandoned rail line that was turned into a trail for bikes along a beautiful lake. The other day I stopped to take a water break and an older gentleman did the same on his e-trike. He told me that he thought he would never get back on a bike because he has lost some balance but is now riding with his family, going to a lakeside taco stand etc. He's back out and riding 250-300Km a week. Let him enjoy it may be me sometime in the distance future.
Have an 06 Highlander 3.3 V6 with 256K. Runs like a top, changing timing belt next week. Will be ready for another 100K.
No doubt
Dude I'm trying to get a 05 highlander that has 193,000 miles. They want $6,900 but I'm trying to talk em down to 6000.
@@commander2552is it me or does that still sound high?
I have an 01 3.0L with 301k
@@commander2552not going to happen especially if it’s a limited.
I disagree with impounding electric bikes. That is theft. It's one thing to put up a speed limit, and charge a fine for a speed limit infraction. It's a whole 'nother deal to take away someone's property for that same infraction. No.
I saw a straight 8 yesterday. So impressive. I never knew such an engine even existed. Compare that to a Toyota 4 cylinder turbo-charged engine... xD
4:01 I would check where the strut bolts to the control arn/knuckle and check the wheel bearings too.
Hi Scotty, I got a 2020 Toyota Corolla SE. it’s got 112,000 miles and runs like a tank. I do my oil every 5000 miles and my trans fluid 35,000 miles. I hope Toyota doesnt replace the 2.0 for a turbo 3 cylinder
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Blowing out drain holes may blow the drain tubes off the drain hole fittings, be careful, I have had to fix the hoses before.
My sister had that same model Highlander and drove it well over 200k miles before trading it in. It was a great vehicle.
You do have to get the "top of the line parts " for it to work rite !!!
I’m pissed as hell too my 2023 highlander hybrid is having some issues with acceleration and steering…
Should of bought one older than that.
Toyota is building most vehicles in Mexico now using cheap Chinese parts.
Toyota makes best hybrids......what exactly is the problem you faced???
@@KingKong- most expensive but not the most reliable. The Chevy Volt was most reliable.
@natevanlandingham1945 I noticed rhe decline in quality my 2021 highlander the gas version wasn't like that yeah it had some minor issues but they really cheaped out on the parts.
Sunroofs Allow you to Dump the Heat from Sunshine Much Faster than a Roof With No Hole.
Having a Remote that Opens All Windows (Honda) really makes this all convenient.
I have an 04 and it's at 200k. My suspension is also rattling and will need the tie rods replaced soon. Asking for the timing belt to be changed as well
I own this exact vehicle. Never gives me a problem.
Hi Scotty
If i could drive. And i needed springs. i buy the complete assembly from Toyota.
Highlanders are notorious for suspension issues. At 80,000 miles on my 2015 XLE, I had to replace all four struts and the front control arms. Perhaps they should avoid using the Camry chassis
Is the Camry also notorious for this? I’d assume not because it’s lighter than the highlander
True. I remember before my Struts got replaced, all 4, when I was driving on the freeway, I swear when the car was driving 70 mph on the freeway, the entire car was Bouncing like a 1964 Chevy Impala with hydraulics
Interesting. My 2014 at 96k miles is all original and have had no issues anywhere. Just got back from a 2600 mile trip and the ride is amazing. Burns no oil either.
175,000 2008 no problems.
That's called regular maintenance dude. 😂. You actually think you can go that many miles and never replace a strut???? Do you also never replace your brake pads?
Scotty I know you hate Nissan's but, every suv. I'm looking at Honda CRV they have ether a 1.5L 4 cylinder and a turbo charger, or 2.0 L with a hybrid both with a CVT transmission. Toyota Highlander( it has a 4 cylinder motor with a turbo charger, and a 9 speed automatic transmission! My wife loves Subaru Outback, they have a 2.5L naturally aspirated 4 cylinder boxer ( Porsche) boxer motor, I've read that the newer f engine boxers use oil some say as much as 2 quarts between changes, and a cvt automatic transmission. We have decided against the Subaru Outback for sure. The Nissan Pathfinder 2nd yr of the new style, it has a 3.8L V6, and a 9 speed automatic transmission, pathfinder got a worse than average dependability rating, from consumer reports, as well as the Nissan Frontier with a new design also, has a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 with a 9 speed automatic transmission, also got a worse than average reliability relating from CR. Scotty you just did a segment on a man buying a new Frontier and favored it because of the motor and transmission set up. What do you think about the new designed Nissan Pathfinder compared to the CRV and the Toyota Highlander both received above average dependability ratings in CR, also so did Outback Subaru!
Do you side hustle for consumer Reports?
Got a 2005 Highlander V6 that has 298,000 miles on it. Most recent fix I had to do was change the alternator. It's been an amazing car otherwise, though I feel the transmission is slowly giving way. Here's hoping I get the miles I need from it before it says it's farewell 😂
I would like your opinion on the new 24 Toyota Corolla. Is this a reliable car. I’m a senior and I need a small car. Thank you
Diehard Toyota owner here and I love my 2021 Tacoma Sport. However, I cannot get over how far and how fast Toyota has fallen by switching to these stupid turbo engines and all the recalls as a result of doing so.
Wife's vehicle is a '15 Highlander with 84k miles. Other than wiper blades (the rear blade lasted until January of '24), the usual lousy OEM tires and air & cabin filters, the only item that had to be replaced was the driver side fog light. Uses no oil between changes and may outlive me, lol.
Are KYB quick struts lower quality?
That design was 01 to 07 I think, long, long time for the same look. I've rarely seen one with body panel rust, but the undercarriage is like the Tacomas, frequent rust underneath...
I have a couple of those turbo 4s, in Lexus NX vehicles. One a 2015 with some miles on it. I wondered about this engine but so far everything's ok. According to Toyota the 3.5 V6 is too heavy and too fuel inefficient, so it has to go. Scotty, you gotta believe here, they must know what they're doing..
Massachusetts car repair shops are the shadiest on Earth.
Apparently you've never had the pleasure of experiencing a shop in Mexico. Not only do you get your problem unrepaired, but you lose a few things that used to be on your vehicle as well.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 Why do you think everybody is crossing the border? Better repair shops.
True. Repair shops here are terrible
There's no way to predict reliability on the 2.4 Turbo. Regular scheduled maintenance and 10 years will determine that
Have an 06 Tacoma. Been great to me. Hate they have changed the engines across the board. I think they could have competed without moving to turbo everything..... Hopefully they will come to their senses
My '21 subaru wrx only has a 2.0L four banger and it runs great.
It weighs 900lbs less than a highlander. That may have something to do with it.
its way more than 900 pounds lighter a WRX is like 2800 pounds a highlander is like 5000 pounds
I know Scotty doesn't really like the quick strut but I was wondering if he could point us in the right direction to the best of them?
Bilstein and KYB both make excellent suspension components .
@robertrosicki9290 I looked into Bilsteins for the Highlander and it didn't appear that they offered much away from performance cars like Camaros and Mustangs..I had them on my Camaro 20 years ago they were great. KYB is likely the best choice
@@Channel99-1 I've got KYB front and back on my 2012 GMC Sierra right now on the brutal roads in northern Canada . Bilsteins on my wife's BMW . The KYBs work very well .
I just bought a 03 highlander. 200k. Great cars, very well made and can be purchased at a very reasonable cost. 3.0 had some sludge issues if not cared for and the 3.0 and 3.3 can have coolant valley leaks with age.
A familiar sight and sound for me growing up. Since my family had a first generation Highlander for 20 years. V6, FWD only, Limited Edition w/ towing package. 450k plus miles on it now though it doesn't look as good as the one in the video from years of scars and scrapes.
FWD is better, less weight, less maintenence, better acceleration and fuel mileage and traction thats 95 percent as good in the snow as AWD
I have an 01 2wd v6 with 301k. Love it.
04 no rust original belt wow
Glad I bought the 2022 v6
Should buy Honda pilot or Acura MDX for 3.5 lit engine👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I sat in a 2024 Highlander recently and I think they made the right decision. The lines of site just keep getting worse.
On the ball Scotty, straight onto the problem. Other mechanics, you pay while they play...
I would take that 3.3 V-6 in a heart beat over a turbo four even if that V-6 is an interference engine. Just change the rubber timing belt every 80-100,000 miles or whenever it starts to get some small cracks in it.
Another broke down Toyota which Scottv describes as "really good shape". This Toyota only made it to 150,000 miles. Meanwhile Scotty looks down on GM and Ford vehicles, many of which quietly provide years of reliable service.
They'll probably replace it with a turbo edition and it will eat crank bearings like the Tundra dose.
I have an 08 Solara 3.3 and all my research showed it is a non interference motor. It is due for a belt but I haven't been in a hurry. Am I wrong???
5VZ-FE 416,189 miles…..
Are any of the new highlanders v6 today ? May God bless everyone 🙏 ❤
Does their 3.5 use a belt or chain? Recently got a 2021 Highlander with a V6.
chain
If I was to buy a new car it would be electric or hybrid, they have much more pep and less strained than these crappy low-displacement turbocharged engines.
I have a questioned I have a 2019 tundra TRD pro why does it sound like a diesel at idle but runs great should I be worried and no it's not the timing chain hope u can help me out thanks
That’s the direct injection
I know you ain't missing Houston humidity. 😁
Shoot and I’m in the market for one. What’s the best year?
For looks, 2nd generation (08-13) was the best looking imo. The 3rd gens got taller and narrower looking. Wasn't as much of a fan of that bodystyle. Anything with a 3.5L V6 will be bulletproof. Some of the early 2nd gens have a rubber oil hose that can be problematic, they changed them to metal tubing around 2010 I think.
The 2022 highlander with the V6 is bullet proof and is the last best highlander quality they have my 2023 highlander has some issues now especially the hybrid version with the steering and accelerating
I'd be happy to find a Highlander like this one for a sane price. Wouldn't think twice about doing the work Scotty recommended - git 'er done!
2010 limited- just turned 260k miles
Toyota has shot themselves in the foot the last few years with these smaller engines that no one wanted. They are paying the price now. Toyota of Orlando has lots FULL of their Tundras and Tacomas, no one wants them.
Um...... I see tons of brand new Toyotas on the road in Florida. Maybe not in Orlando where everyone is poor, but from Tampa down to Sarasota, you will see tons of them.
Financing 1k/mo for 84 months isn’t “rich” it’s called stupid.
i'd bet it more about the sticker price than the engine. They are crazy expensive.
The Grand Highlander that replaced looks beautiful and would be perfect if it had a V6 or V8. Instead it has a junk turbo 4 and hybrid. So ridiculous.
On Mackinac Island, a speeding ticket on your bike goes against your driving record. Only park officials can have electric bikes, and everyone else is peddlers. It works, too!
Allways swap the strut as an assnmbly , Been doing this stuff for many years now , unless there are are other issues with the suspension system ...
He doesn’t like 4 cylinder turbo propelling heavy vehicles.
Aren't Mercedes-Benz Sprinters 4 cylinder turbos?
Sorry for going off topic in a Scotty clip.
Looking at Ram van instead of Sprinter..due to engine.
A longer wider RAV4 would be a good seller
I agree with you, Scotty. I bought a NEW 2022 GMC Canyon crew cab with the V6 over a 2023 model last year because in 2023 you could only get a 4 banger turbo or a 4 banger diesel turbo...no more v6. I was also looking at the new Toyota Highlanders but same problem...four banger only. Heck no. I want nothing to do with a turbo 4 cylinder cars being shoved down our throats. I loved our old 2005 Highlander with the V6, but only having the 4 banger was a no-go for me. We put about 189,000 miles on it and sold it to a family friend who needed a first car for their daughter. Did her great until she wrecked it. So yeah, I'll buy a used car with a v6 or v8 over these new overpriced four banger turbos. Ford and GM turbo vehicles are a definite NO WAY buy for me.
My 04 handling was whack when i bought it. Quick struts on all 4 with new tires and it rides like new!
The weird hang up he has towards sun roofs is rather odd. His biggest gripe seems to be that they have drain hole! Oh the humanity! 😂 I personally think they are great. Your not sitting in a hot box on warm days because you can open the sun roof and get more air and also have the warm air rise up through the sun room.
I miss my 2006 Toyota Highlander. I would have been still driving it except it got totaled by getting crushed by a massive tree falling
Toyota is doing the same thing to the 4Runner as well. The 2024 is the last model year that the 4Runner will have the old V6 naturally aspirated engine. Sad times for Toyota fans.
I think if the manufacturer wants to see the cars on the road for a long time, they need to make them with manual transmission.
Toyota is currently seeing one of their lowest points in reliability in their existence. Buyer beware.
All manufacturers are juggling recalls galore. That’s till warranty expires. Buying any vehicle is like playing the casino. You can’t win.
....and Toyota's reliability won't improve as vehicle's get more & more complicated.
....even VW, Mercedes & BMW built reliable car's back in the simple old-days 😂
Toyota moved manufacturing to Mexico and switched to cheap Chinese parts.
Sorry you have to hear this Scotty but.........RIP Toyotas underwear 😢😢
"The bad people ruin it for the good people..." Yep, until nobody is allowed to do anything anymore.
I don't think Toyota makes timing belts
18 wheeler's have turbo that's not the problem
my 2013 Venza 6 cylinder is perfect...new Venza's are crap
Have an 06 Japan made Highlander with 305k miles. Feel trapped in it bc it won't die...
Scotty, noticed some Fords vin# start with CM. Does CM stand for California Mexico?
Stands for Crap Mobile
Toyota just about killed every truck and suv in their entire line up! Thanks Scotty
I got the 3.3 in my Lexus. Great engine! 21 years old…just keep driving
Brother had a 02 Pontiac gran AM GT
And one day the driver side dropped and was sitting on top of the tire!
Next day it looked normal. Tells me he picked up his friend and the pass side dropped down. 😂
I pop hood and noticed the hood in middle ish was bending up!
The top of the strut tower rotted out so the struts were pressing on bottom of hood!
Had to weld new sheet metal but struts were fine!
I have a 2012 Scion TC and the A/C is acting up strange. When in idle; it blows hot air but if I accelerate above 2,000RPMs without moving the car the it blows old air. I also noticed the fans aren’t moving a lot of air. The car doesn’t overheat at all even in the summer. What would be the first thing to do? Is the compressor bad? I don’t see any leaks. Switches maybe? The blower went bad (only working on HI) and I replaced it. The car has 100k miles. Thanks
Sadly, I think Toyota is killing Toyota. As a Toyota fan, I would be afraid to buy one nowadays
Next vehicle Toyota will kill off is the 4RUNNER. Better get a V6 in '24 because the '25 gets the turbo 4. Farwell 4RUNNER.
Tacoma,gone. Tundra ,gone. Sienna, gone. Camry. Now junk. What's left to destroy? The corolla and the 4 runner.
They already killed the highlander by putting the turbo instead of naturally aspirated
@@everydayfun9531 Turbos are junk and the MPG is no better than the NA. Toyota has lost it.
What about the Rav 4s? Did those change too?
Hi Scotty, I just wanted to say thank you. You’ve taught me everything about cars, purchasing cars & mechanics. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. Most of this stuff doesn’t interest me but I knew I had to start and learn, so glad I found you. God bless.

Hi Scotty, I was just wondering what engine oil does a Tesla model 3 use? I'm thinking about buying the V8 version.
I personally wouldn't even buy a V8 tesla. It's not just the fact that they're electric.
😂😂😂😂😂 I wouldn’t buy any tesla
Funny how the a/c motor became so much more powerful than a V8! No oil or powertrain maintenance needed.
Was that a serious question or a dumb question?
@@mgreenmg4919mg I think he was being sarcastic
Why oh why has Toyota killed this excellent design ? It's one of the best selling vehicles and they messed with it ?
Really thought about picking one up. Hard to find a Regular Highlander. Guess they are going to build more Grand H's. Bad thing is, it's heavier and the turbo tends to struggle. They won't "bump" it up for MPG, reliability and you can run 87 in it reasons. Toyota also has the service plan fees after the free trial is done. This is why Nissan and Honda still have their six's. Could they use a little more refinement and power, yeah. They are still smoother than a turbo four.
A new Kilmer-ism..."wiggle and woggle"
Starting 2025, there will be no normal small automobile engines available in any automobile under $40k. The last one is the current RAV4 2.5 liter with an 8 speed automatic transmission. All these new models are turbocharged and completely unreliable past 100k miles. Good luck to us Scotty!
Turbos, just something else to break that we have to pay to fix courtesy of the government's over-regulations
@@Channel99-1 No point in buying a Toyota anymore with all this small motor turbo crap that won't last.
@David9726100 except most of them are doing it, not much left to choose from. Keep your old cars running, new ones suck
Reviews scare people into trading in a good vehicle before the urban myth occurs.
I wouldn’t charge for a brake inspection if I already had ten million dollars like Scotty has.
I wonder what the crooked mechanic thought when he saw this video?
- Scotty I’ve seen you bash quick struts and I’ve seen you use quick struts in your Texan driveway. I believe KYB was your preference.
48 miles an hour?!?!?!?!? Wow!
Тойота просто убила Хайлендер, и я бешено злюсь.
Toyota will lose many customers if they don’t turn it around.
I'm personally thinking of maybe buying a Nissan Frontier or a Pathfinder. Or I might go with Mazda since they still use naturally aspirated engines and still have a manual transmission in the 3.
But the real culprits are the politicians who have placed unreal emission standards. But I also blame car companies for not doing more to push back against the emission regulations.
For those wondering, no, I do not believe that humans are contributing to climate change in any significant way and neither do the politicians or they wouldn't be buying up beachfront properties and the big bankers with millions on the line wouldn't be handing out mortgages for beach front commercial property.
I don't know anyone who is happy with their decision to buy a Nissan suv.
They lost my wife and I. When my lease was up on my 2021 Tundra, I gave up on them. The same spec Tundra was over 20k more than what I paid for mine.
@Deadcntr You may not know anybody personally, but you should check out all the different channels where people are buying the Nissan Frontier like crazy.
Buy naturally aspirated Lexus then
