I just drove the new highlander 2023 platinum with turbo engine I guarantee u that this engine is better than the v6 that i have on my highlander right now Thats the reason im trading my old highlander too
Nice job man! Thank you for getting to the point without wasting our valuable time like other UA-camrs. I really appreciate it your cadence. Cheers to your success matey!
@@matthewalexis The 'emissions' standards is the federal government telling the car company's how they should build cars. This is how we end up with cars no one wants to build or buy.
I prefer the 3.5 over the 4.0 as well. The 4.0 in my tacoma was just adequate unloaded. Not bad, but just enough. Towing a small travel trailer (Casita @ 4,000 pounds), it needed more passing power. Mileage was poor. the 3.5 in my current tacoma has power in reserve. Yes, it's a revver and it is laggy when its in sixth and you stomp on the gas pedal. It takes too long to drop down 3 gears. But when it does, it doesn't feel underpowered towing the same trailer.
Benjamin my good man, I do not know if you take requests/suggestions but I assure you this is one that has never been broached. Have you considered taking a trip to Willard, UT where _Plan B Trucks_ is located? I think a review or two of their LMTV's and/or Humvee's would be extraordinary and unlike any other automotive channels. You have the fortunate opportunity of being located in the same state which is why I ask/suggested. If you are willing to travel even further, there is Acela and FMTV trucks located in Bozeman and Belgrade, Montana. FWIW, those LMTVs are amazing machines! Stay classy my friend.
If the highlander the same feeling as cx5 then this car is shitty. Mazada CX 9 and 5 are very weak cars to be honest. Honda CRV new one 2023 is very strong
@@matthewalexis I hope they offer a hybrid option on the tacoma, I'm sure they will. What happened on the tundra is what they will most likely do with the tacoma and 4runner.
Does this have CarPlay? Also can you test the stereo, how’s the sound system, my 2016 highlander sound system is incredible, you can feel the bass in your bones 🤣 and that’s a must have in any of my new cars.
3.5 V6 was the best engine Toyota ever made.
I love the FKS engine in my Camry

@@carloancheta5374 Turbo 4 can never be better than V6 that was designed to last 500 000 miles.

They ruin the highlander. Should of kept the V6 and its more reliable than turbo.
The V6 was unable to meet emissions standards.

@@jmahoney1595 nO oNe WaNT or bUILd. 😂😂
I’ve been waited for 3 fking months to received my highlander.
I agree way too much, at least you can still get the hybrid which has no turbo, but not on the xse and l trims
Highlander looks good beautiful red color on it love it
I agree. The red looks awesome

Mine is in transit, Pearl white! Can't wait to get it.
Do all limiteds come with a heated steering wheel?

The only Con I would bother me is the pulling up the back seats manually
My very first Toyota SUV! Nice video Ben.
I had a 2021 and just got 2023 definitely drives different. 2021 drove smoother to me.

I’ll look into it
Good video, but you talk too fast. Slow down, you get paid more if your video is longer.
The front seats on my 2019 Highlander are not comfortable (wife hates them). How about the 2023?

Complete bullshit! The 3.5 V6 is sooo much better in every way! Hybrid is now the superior option or just go buy a Pilot with the new V6!

Don't talk so fast. Us older people can't hear that fast. Thank you
Going to be interesting if that same engine goes in the 4runner/tacoma. They are both heavier body on frame vehicles.
Both of them likely get this engine but with the powerful rear electric motor. 340+ hp. On the higher trims we could maybe see a hybrid V6

Turbo lags!? In future, we will need more maintenance and service for it.....
No remote start?
Toyota just made the pilot telluride palisade much more of a no brainer
V6 engines on those?
@@antoniocognato5023 Of course.
When there's snow, are you going to test drive any vehicles "snow" mode capability?
when are you going to review the limited hybrid highlander 23
