@@Tundra-pw2cu Maybe so, tine will tell. We would have gotten the Highlander but with the 3 kids and the opportunity for more room, it made more sense for us to go with the GH.
Hi, thanks for the follow-up review. How does it overtake on highway speeds? Do u experience any lack of power that it’s a naturally aspirated 2.5 litre with eCVT? Also, Toyota has removed moon roof from XLE trim, do u feel it’s dark inside?
@@luqmankhb It is a bit sluggish but it doesn't bother me because we bought it for the MPG. If you put it in "Sport" mode then it's better. Our XLE has the moonroof, you can see it in my 10,000 mile update. Thanks!
Hey buddy, can you show us if it’s possible for someone to access the 3rd row with that car seat in place? You know what I mean? Pretend you have 3 forward facing car seats on that 2nd row, how’d ya access the 3rd without getting them off? Can you hop into the car by just sliding the seat all the way forward before placing the child in the seat??? Thanks in advance 🥰🙏
@@sw6155 It's possible. We normally have my 4yr old's booster seat in the 2nd row and you're still able to slide the seat forward about 2/3 the way. Enough room for my older kids to access the 3rd row. Thanks!
What's 0-60 and 60-80 (or 90) times? I'm looking at the GH eCVT hybrid but I'm worried about merging and passing on the highway (our speed limits are 70-80 mph down here in Texas). I currently have a 2015 Acadia and it does 0-60 in 8.2 which is adequate but it has more horsepower than the GH eCVT hybrid does.
@@Nealman24 Yeah I know it's super fast but I'm partial to the better gas mileage of the eCVT. It's just hard to find acceleration tests of the eCVT GH.
I have had 0 problems with merging I use it in sport when I think I need more response works great and I average around 40mpg I live 45 miles from my work.
@@Tundra-pw2cu We likely won't always put 30k miles on it each year. We got it to drive it though and my hope would be to get at least 250k out of the car or about 10 years.
Hi, my 2024 Grand Hi Hy is broken down, for the 3rd time. I picked it up June 1st. It’s an electronic prob & all systems start malfunctioning & isn’t drivable. Toyota technician is doing piece by piece fixes. I’m super disappointed & just want my car fixed, reliable & safe.
Thanks for the update... Hard to find any long term reviews since most of GH are new and its a risky blind situation with the 1yr model. Ordered mine in February and was supposed to get it late july or early August but unfortunately stop sale/ production happened 🤦. Well the wait is still on....
@@readymeI heard it was something related to an airbag issue. Something about it not deploying properly if the window is down. Affected both grand highlander and Lexus tx models. Once they find the fix, sales should resume.
@@ATAKER66 Yes, we've taken several long trips including one from VA to New Orleans where we averaged about 33mpg. We were loaded down too. Hope this helps!
Good video
almost 11k on our G Highlander
No strut issue but i had a 2021 Highlander XSE had that issue.
Looks good. I did the 2 tone color on mine, just like the rav4 prime and added black decals to the GRAND HIGHLADER at the back.
I have had both, Highlander and Grand Highlander, I like the regular Highlander better myself. It is a more solid vehicle , proven and reliable.
@@Tundra-pw2cu Maybe so, tine will tell. We would have gotten the Highlander but with the 3 kids and the opportunity for more room, it made more sense for us to go with the GH.
Is there an 8 seater highlander?
@@kingkweku9761 Yes, you can get a bench 2nd row in the Grand Highlander.
Theyre 95% the same vehicle. Only major difference is the frame size and length. Why would they use different things.

Alex on autos says it’s 0 to 60 in 7.5 sec. Why it should be sluggish if this is true?
please make a update video about the recall air bag. did u got the recall letter from toyota?
@@jeepcam84 Will do. I don't think I've gotten a recall letter yet.

What trim was the Highlander that you were comparing to since wheel size on different trims affect ride quality.
@@ratukamina It was an XLE. I believe same wheel size as our GH.
thanks for the update!
maybe something to consider though not to show your address in your video

@@lauran.9148 Thank you!
I have a 2015 sienna se and 2024 grandhighlander xle !! I like the v6 better but grandhighlander is much softer ride
You must drive a lot. 30,000 miles in one year. Time to trade it for another one.
How long do you normally keep a car putting that many miles a year?
@@Tundra-pw2cu We likely won't always put 30k miles on it each year. We got it to drive it though and my hope would be to get at least 250k out of the car or about 10 years.
The second Valet key should be in the glove box with the owners manual
@@rya-zq7ky Thanks, will have to check!

@@elizabethC19 Sorry to hear that, that's super frustrating. They should give you your money back or find you a new GH!
Just asking - what city drove ?
Now this is scary... 3 major breakdowns in 2 months, looks like a lemon. They should it take that back and give you another one😌
Are you interested in testing our new seat covers?
@@USWeatherward Absolutely!
@@Nealman24 Do you mind offering any contact information?

@@konvict072 Sorry to hear that! Hopeful soon though. I agree with you, it is risky with it being a 1st year model.
What is the production stop due to?
@@readymeI heard it was something related to an airbag issue. Something about it not deploying properly if the window is down. Affected both grand highlander and Lexus tx models. Once they find the fix, sales should resume.
@@readyme I believe it's due to side curtain airbags not functioning properly when the windows are down.
Experienced fuel mpg. I know personal driving habits affect that that still nice to know.
@@wayneparsons66 We average 36 mpg. I speak to that in my first video (10,000 mile update) if you want to check that one out!
@@Nealman24Have you taken any long highway trips? If so, what mpg do u get while doing 70mph +?
@@ATAKER66 Yes, we've taken several long trips including one from VA to New Orleans where we averaged about 33mpg. We were loaded down too. Hope this helps!
He should've gotten the sienna
@@joek1353 We're not mini-van people but the Sienna is nice looking.
Must be realy bad roads in your area full of holes
if you have roof on it you not gonna like it my 2024 grand highlander roof liking on the first month
good luck with the 88+ recalls lol
@@leonardovincent3606 88?
@@Nealman24 Yep lots of recalls
@@leonardovincent3606 I think you're confused. There's 1 main recall for side curtain airbags.
