2022 Toyota Highlander vs 2022 Toyota 4Runner | Toyota's $45,000 Question

[@Andos99]

I have a 2022 4Runner TRD off road premium and my wife has a 2016 Highlander XLE. Both are excellent vehicles and serve their intended purpose. The 4Runner goes on ski and camping trips and we take the Highlander on road trips. The answer is: have one of each.

One reason I bought a 2022 4runner is because it's not all high tech computer screens. I think technology is going backwards these days, I want buttons when I'm driving, not going through menus on a screen while also trying to pay attention to the road.

[@djcan9503]

Since 100% of my driving is normal road it now has 6k miles. I do have an issue and genuine dislike/concern about its transmission. I know it's an old true and tested built but for some reason it is so hard to shift out of park. Everytime it sounds like a harsh grind or bump. I have tried neutral + parking break and then park and it still so hard when I drive it next time to get it out of parking. It doesn't matter if its hot or cold. I took it to toyota and the tech said it was normal. It pulls forward when I shift it to park and when I turn the car off I hear a shutter or a light knock into parking. Please give me your advice since you have one, the transmission rocking and if it's hard a normal thing to get out of parking. No transmission- rav4 2020, last year tundra, current tacoma feel this way or even any other first couple 4runner generations. Please help me out. Thank you!

Only reason I went highlander was the extra 10mpg on the highway. I love the 4runner, and especially now the Land Cruiser, but that highlander just fit my lifestyle better. Mostly driving to trailheads and biking, dirtbiking, camping, and rafting.

[@timtoni123]

I live in Minnesota. Where we get quite a bit of snow for the winter. Our family owns both vehicles. My wife owns a 2021 Toyota Highlander Platinum. I own a 2012 Toyota 4Runner limited. Both vehicles are excellent vehicles. The design to do two completely different things. My forerunner is perfect for the winters and doing chores around the house. Such as pulling stumps from trees that I have fallen. As for the Highlander it's a smooth plush ride. Perfect for taking my son out of town to his AAU basketball games. Both vehicles are dead reliable. Can't go wrong with either one. Just which one suits the needs of your family and yourself.

[@adrianw3985]

The 20 year old V6 in the 4Runner, is the same 20 year old V6 in the Highlander. The 4Runner has the 1GR engine, the Highlander has the 2GR. The main difference is the the displacement and the fuel injection system. The Limited does have low range, just like the other models, and it can lock just like the part time systems. The Limited 4Runner is actually just as capable if you want it to be, as the other models. You can setup the Limited in the same way as the other models, just put some good off-road tires and a lift kit if you desire. Your statements about the Limited are incorrect in the regard. The transfer case in the Limited is actually the same as the other 4Runners, it just has an added center diff that is lockable when needed. As far as tow capacity goes, the 4Runner is tougher. They may claim on paper the the Highlander has the same tow capacity, but the Highlander transmission won't hold up to the abuse of the 4Runner's transmission. The 5 Speed auto in the 4Runner, is the same transmission that was used in the earlier Tundra pickups. These 5 speed transmissions are very robust, the Highlander transmission would burn up long before the 4Runner in towing. The 4Runner tow capacity is under rated, I am not saying you should tow more then the recommended 5,000 pounds, there are other factors that come into play that limits the tow capacity that have nothing to do with its actual capabilities. The wheel base of the 4Runner is on the short side, and that is one of the reasons it's only "rated" at 5,000 pound. Some of the earlier 4Runners, like the somewhat rare V8 4th generation models actually were rated for 6,000 pounds. The only difference is just the increased torque that the 2UZ V8 engine had. I'm not ripping on the Highlander, but it is correct to say it is a glorified minivan. It does pretty much have the same drive train under it as the Sienna. The Sienna and the Highlander are excellent, but they in fact are cars and the 4Runner is a truck. You are totally correct about that. Your facts about these two vehicles where pretty spot on for the most part. 4Runner my pick, one of the best most reliable Toyotas around.

If it had another inch of clearance and attack angle was higher, and add in a rear and front tow point it would be awesome.

A similarly equipped 2012 4Runner would have demanded 18-20K and cost less when it was new (That's a lot of gas- about 42,000 miles worth). Off roading doesn't always mean up a mountain with no road.

I already have a full size truck that gets 13.8 mpg so i got a highlander hybrid as my pick up drop off kids and road trip. While camping we use lifted truck

i like this guy. he doesnt just keep on bullshitting how good a car is like other youtube reviews. he actually knows what he's talking about and points out the obvious pros and cons which is rare to see nowadays.

Very well studied review!

[@fongail]

Love my XSE AWD for my family car. !!! Smooth ride!

[@iniobongakpabio3542]

Could you review the 4runner limited??

[@cliffcarreviews]

If Toyota has one available, we'll try for 2023.

I traded my 22 4Runner for 22 highlander. Highlander was a lot more usable for a family and gas mileage is way better.

[@johnzurek8174]

Just bought a new 22 Highlander XSE. The electronic controls are beyond crazy. It takes concentration to drive the vehicle and ignore trying to learn the hundreds of electronic options. Not necessary. I think they are trying to impress, yet it sort of got stupid. Still love the vehicle.

It hasn’t changed because it works and doesn’t need to change. They also sell out every year so why change? Great off-road rig. The Highlander? Well it’s a nice luxury cruiser for long road trips and nothing more.

4runner boy's truck whereas highlander is girl's suv
