[@AdamWanly]

I like that you recorded your review in the shade not in the direct sunlight. That makes the picture clear and crisp and also shows more details.

[@SujitNair7]

this is the best channel. no fancy music and stupid camera works!! way to go.

[@smiling5683]

This was the most informative and entertaining review ever. I would buy this car from you just because you would make it so much fun!

[@victorbartalo8502]

Love High Point! Use to live there way way back in 1986 to 90! Miss the area, great place to retire and live simple. Just bought a 2018 Highlander Limited! Love it and still learning about all the options. Thank you for a great video!

[@gabrielcapati]

Hey Brock, I think the black button to the right of the emblem pop opens the rear glass hatch

[@BernonCars]

Yep, it does

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much for the sharp eye! I will be sure to make a note of that in the description box. Thanks again!!!

[@jonathansthoughts4945]

i have a iM

[@benaditraj]

@@HowToCarGuy hi, I want to buy Highlander 2015 model in India. Is this available in india.

[@nancyingram966]

I have a much older Highlander, and I'd love to own this one. Thank you for the in-depth demo..... I love this car!! Well done!!

[@HowToCarGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the positive feedback!!

[@neobx2]

Thank you, great video I just got this highlander in Pearl White

[@romyfleurs4990]

I just bought this car and I am taking lessons :-) . Very informative! Thanks!

[@MAGirlable]

The lane change blinker function has literally been standard on all cars in Europe for a long time now (20 years or so). I get the impression from you making a special mention of it that it's not standard on some vehicles in the US. I hope America is not so far behind that there are still new cars that don't have it as a standard feature in 2017. Thank you for the review. I appreciate it!

[@dealzguyYT]

XTL really dude? Show me...so the Mercs and Bimmers and Audis sent our way did not have any of these functions...? Even in 2017 on a Audi Q5 you need to step up to Prestige trim to get the frickin adaptive cruise. It is fuckin standard on Hyundais and Toyotas... so much for fuckin Euro snobbery, get the F out of here...

[@sreek123456]

[@Kmasse8]

Mirror-mounted turn signals were introduced as standard equipment mid-year in 2003.

[@Maliot2020]

This guy is awesome I love his review 👍👍👍👍👍

[@petraengemann3529]

This was very helpful in learning how to get the most out of my new vehicle. I also LOLed a few times 😁 Thank you!

[@MoneyMaples]

It would be ideal if the huge side mirrors were power folding! Only thing this great vehicle needs.

[@vjlove1218]

I agree!

[@randomrazr]

maye better sound proofing

[@stea8629]

Loved my 2016 highlander limited but sold it for the 17 limited man I have no regrets. although the transmission is not as smooth the new engine and transmission is better on gas, smoother and quieter ride. the LED on the mirror will display highlander on the ground at night. Lane keep assist is funky sometime but its the future for sure. Indeed that little black button in the back is for the rear window to unlock. the lines in 360 view when backing up also moves.. so cool.

[@bethdsa]

Hi Brock, You are simply awesome, Brock I am a proud owner of the 2017 Toyota Platinum, Can I have Apple powerplay installed in my SUV? Thanks for your so informative videos. I love your sense of humor while demonstrating the vehicle. Keep it up the Good Work. 👍

[@joaodecastro2207]

Hi Brock. My wife and me loved. We are brazilian, live in Amazônia. We are goig to live in USA. Maybe It will be our vehicle there. Thanks a lot for excellent explanation.

[@HowToCarGuy]

That's SO COOL! I am so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy it here in the U.S.!!! Please let me know if you ever make it to North Carolina!!! Brock

[@gabbarsingh1276]

Awesome explanation of the features and great skills. Man you can surely sell anything. Good work.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Gabbar Singh You're awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@manubk4076]

love the way you demonstrate everything

[@sulebello6285]

I say Toyota high lander is good for roads is the best in the world today keep it up

[@captnwally]

Thank you for another informative video on the Highlander. I have one question. How does one open the rear door (tailgate door) from drivers seat?

[@daydreamerny]

great reviews but missing the one of the mail attraction MOON ROOF OPEN ALL THE WAY TO BACK......

[@sanjaysohal1371]

Question about "2018 Highlander XLE AWD" (V6- 8-speed Automatic) a.) Is there a way to turn on digital speedometer and how? b.) When performing a front parking, Is there a beeping noise (we can enable) when the car is approaching something in the front? c.) How to enable horn when locking the car using the Key FOB d.) Where do we insert the key which is hidden on the Key FOB

[@indroyalgorkha1955]

Wow realy good car.... your explanation..was exilant.. may be this is not for india..

[@HowToCarGuy]

I appreciate your feedback and I thank you for the compliments! Have a wonderful day! Brock

[@Steve-ln7wr]

Excellent demonstration!!

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Steve York Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback! Brock

[@kaox44]

Of all the mid-size SUV...I think the 2015-18 Highlander looks the best and will last forever.

[@HowToCarGuy]

I agree!

[@kennethlimkl91]

Center console storage is like a safety feature. People don't own that car won't know how to open it. Haha. 👍🏼

[@wilmerfajardo8488]

Brock, does it informed you about tire pressure level and also I assume it has warning sound when you are in reverse, right? Great video

[@filippxx]

When you get in the car you want to see the weather?! What am I missing here :) If a computer tell is you if it's sunny or not while in he car... what a great time to be alive.

[@Juicebox12396]

That button on the back lift gate is to open just the window portion of the lift gate, not to lock the doors

[@Juicebox12396]

But next to the lift gate button there is another button that I believe does that. I didn't notice til this video so thanks

[@morg4620]

Just found your channel and subscribed Like the way you do your reviews. Wonder if you can do a Ford Flex limited. Keep those videos coming 👍

[@Imal-7ydar]

I know it's to late for ask but I'm between two highlanders here both are limited 2017 and 2019 So should I save money and go for the 2017 or have some courage to spend more cash for the 2019 Pls help me

[@Monoplacophora]

Excellent review, thanks. Looking to buy.

[@thainguyen-jf5zu]

I love the alloy wheels

[@D.1977-c6v]

Please, how much does the car cost? Thank you for your efforts

[@airforceone6523]

One of the best car reviews

[@USARMYvietnamVET1969]

Will the back hatch lift gate open up while the vehicle is moving if someone hits the key fob open button or you accidently hit the dashboard open button down by your left knee. Don't want to be driving down the road and dump the groceries out.

[@jasonjoe1384]

USARMYvietnamVET1969 No the doors lock when you shift it in park and even when the doors are unlocked and your driving it will double beep and not open. The key buttons disable when the vehicle is on.

[@vdbennett317]

Well done video. I'm about ready for this vehicle. How is the driver's forward visibility? Can you see two cars up, as you can in a truck or van? Thanks

[@donmotz5528]

Nice review....very informative.

[@HowToCarGuy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback! Brock

[@arabachestyle1975]

[@jalumb01]

What happen with the safety on the three row ?

[@ayomidepelumi5364]

wonderful review, keep the good work going. 👍👍👍

[@Kdjoao]

Thats a nice kluger.

[@hyperion2043]

I own this car, and I have to say, it was well worth 60k.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+EVGR Clutch Thank you for the feedback!

[@hyperion2043]

No problem man, It was recommenced so I had to check it out. Nice job.

[@ivanofbeard5957]

60k for a toyota? Gtfo, with that you can buy a benz gls or audi q7.

[@prvtjy]

Ivanof Beard yeah, but it’s still not a Toyota.

[@meatwad74]

is that u.s dollars or yen. I bought my XLE for 37.7k $. granted with a bunch of deals discounts and bargaining that is :). the highlander should go up to 45k at most with limited hybrid or something. If my car had gone into the 40k range, I would have definitely started looking at the mdx or qx60.

[@luccib7225]

Rather not have the cup holders in the back which could've been little bit more space for one more extra body

[@ladyj1254]

Cup holder doesn’t need to be as deep as a seat, so there probably wasn’t enough available space for a wider seat. (I’m guessing… 🤔)

[@sulebello6285]

this is fine good looking you are okay pls keep it up

[@TravelToTheWorldAaliyahtravel]

Thanks for upload

[@HowToCarGuy]

[@stea8629]

brock, what would you choose a highlander limited or lexus rx executive?

[@mjm492]

Can you get teh Limited model with 2nd-row bench seats?

[@onofuaolubukola579]

I want used toyota highlander 2006 model price

[@Kampkhmai420]

If you have friends that will used you they're not your friends.

[@LaorMerlTVKH]

Hello sir, I like this

[@thainguyen-jf5zu]

should I save money to take this highlander or move up to RX350 f-sport

[@HowToCarGuy]

In my opinion the Highlander is a better vehicle if you have more than 4 or 5 members in your family. The RX350 FSport is better if you have 4 or fewer members in your family. I like the RX350 FSport better because of the bold design characteristics and the seamless integration of technology and safety features. Both vehicles are incredible but for the Lexus is better. I hope this helps and I thank you for the question! Thank you for your inquiry and I hope you have a wonderful day, my friend! Feel free to call me if you have any other questions! Brock Frady Flow Lexus of Greensboro 336-217-5400

[@pepito2815]

I was torn between the 450 or the hilander. ultimately chose the hilander last week. the additional features such as charger usb ports, accessories ports, and other times that were included in a standard hilander either did not exist or came at an extra cost on the Lexus.

[@faisalhumayun8193]

What is the price for this car

[@Youlong2001]

I love it.

[@pituq129]

Do you need to explain those buttons dude

[@HowToCarGuy]

I do. If you read the comments of my other videos, especially the ones where I explain how to use key fobs and switches inside the vehicles, you would read how people appreciate it. Some people are going from older cars that had none of this technology and it's all new to them. Also, you wouldn't believe how poorly car salespeople "teach" their clients about their cars... Brock

[@tcheahyunxabani3137]

Can give one of these as a gift

[@sulebello6285]

yes

[@hi21451]

Why not fully led

[@Bwatt5000]

Do the Limiteds come standard with a heated steering wheel? I’m assuming remote start isn’t?

[@gavin6090]

Bwatt5000 there is no remote start button but if you google it, you have to press buttons on the key fob and it will turn on

[@bobsingh9149]

I want to buy Toyota highlander

[@hp11208]

Not alot of leg room, in the 3rd row.

[@Da323Guy]

HP11208 3rd row shouldn't even be there.

[@gioated64]

there is you just need to move the two seats in front of it a bit forward because at first its pushed all the way back

[@denny8548]

Yeah get a TANK which has all the legs room you need in the cargo area.

[@levelheadsteve]

Get the XLE.

[@kaox44]

HP11208; all mid-size suv are like that.

[@kimteang24]

how much is it?

[@pr005h5]

Also you said its 24 valves per cylinder!!! Its 4 valves per cylinder!!

[@renzodelacruz7281]

Can u get a limited awd with the bench seat 2nd row?

[@gavin6090]

Renzo Dela Cruz yes

[@risked9]

2016 Highlander

[@sadekhussain6949]

High lander must have. Two pipes muffler like Mazda and two shokabsorbers to hold the front cover and need to be extended alitel for the third seat and l e d front light so please do it

[@kadad5220]

which is better Toyota highlander or Honda Pilot?

[@Kdjoao]

kadad5220. Highlander

[@Bwatt5000]

Search KZbin for a Highlander vs Pilot comparison. They break almost even but the Pilot has a little more cargo space while the Highlander offers a better warranty. The Highlander also looks better in my opinion but both are great SUV’s.

[@driftertrev]

pretty sure you meant to say 4 valves per cylinder 24 valve per cylinder would be 144 valves in a v6 ive never heard or an engine that has 144 valves they would have to be tiny in order to fit 24 per cylinder inside the head

[@HowToCarGuy]

Oh my! You are exactly right about that. Thank you for pointing that out - I am glad you were listening that closely! Can you imagine how long it would take to make an engine with 144 valves???

[@pacotaco4859]

You left the light on
