2024 Toyota Highlander Limited AWD - 265 HP Turbo 4 Cylinder

[@paulstein9258]

I got the Highlander Limited gas 2.5 T 3 weeks ago. Traded in my 2021 low mileage Venza. Wanted a larger car. Hybrid made no sense for me. Low mileage driver, higher initial cost. The MSRP was $ 51,008, included destination and shipping. Paid $ 47, 348. No dealer add on options, but a few port add ons. The mats cost the same as Weather tech, about 350, for complete coverage including cargo area. I like them better. Had Weather Tech in the past. Door guards, about $ 150. Special paint, white pearl, $ 450, top rails and crossbars, $ 450. I would not have spent money for crossbars, but they make it easier to find my car in the Costco parking lot. The hybrid would have cost about $ 5000 more. No discount, higher base price. The Limited is very quiet, and after shutting off start stop, no lag turning right after a full stop.

Hey that’s awesome. Either way, gas or hybrid, the Highlander is a terrific SUV.

Just watched your video for the second time. Picked up very useful added information. This. Is an excellent video of the basics. You should have more subscribers. After a month, it just rides so much better than my Venza Limited did. Probably the 8 speed transmission. My Limited is also very quiet. Don’t understand bloggers commenting on a noisy engine. I would have liked the Platinum, which was in stock. Gorgeous interior but I didn’t want to deal with the panoramic sunroof. Too many reports of cracks or exploding sunroofs. People reported the repair is $ 11,000. Also, I’m guessing the shade won’t keep water out if the sunroof explodes while driving in the rain. Bye bye headliner.

Great presentation. Is there a cd player slot under the navigation screen? Thank you.

[@thehardknockstate]

Thank you. Unfortunately, cd players are no longer being installed in newer vehicles like this.

Can you plug in a USB with music files and will those play?

[@thehardknockstate]

Yeah sure can. The one upfront under the head unit. All others are just for charging.
