    Toyota Highlander is the best-selling midsize SUV in the country for the last 8 years! Would you buy one....or is there a better option? Jeff

It will charge wirelessly in the new charger. I hope you are having fun at your mom's house in Jackson, Michigan.

    I remember in 2019, I bought a brand new 2019 Toyota Highlander with zero miles on it for $26,000. Car payment was $480 a month. Now, in 2025, the version I bought starts at $48,000😢. What is going on🤔? I can imagine the monthly car note, especially after taxes are added. I'm thinking $900 plus

This powertrain is superior for that type of driving. Which would I prefer? The V6. But it is impossible for me to deny that this is a better powertrain for most people, most of the time.

    I wish they didn't have a turbo. Turbo equals more problems less engine life. I would go with the hybrid, but it only comes in four-wheel drive. I don't need a four-wheel drive. I don't want higher maintenance costs, less fuel mileage. And not to mention a rear electronic axel that can not be repaired must be replaced. And cost a fortune.

      You’re missing a lot without the use of the cruise control, I’ll suggest you search for videos on UA-cam…. The car is a machine it breaks and accelerates by itself while on cruise control.

  • @ytj22
    @ytj22 Місяць тому +5

    Why Toyota is discontinuing this model is beyond me. The Grand Highlander is much bigger than many of us need, but we like having something a bit larger than a RAV4 where the 3rd row is only needed once or twice per year for a short trip. Crown Signia is nice, but it is a wagon. The Highlander deserves a new model makeover. Discontinuing it is short sighted.
