These things hold value like gold. They just don't break down. Chain driven engine = reliable and low maintenance. 5K tow capacity. Press the lift gate button on the remote as you are walking up...it'll be open by the time you get there. 3rd row in virtually all cars is typically for emergency purposes only. Not for long road trips. Not for picking up 7 people from the airport. Consumer reports 2nd and 3rd best Midsized Suv for 2019. Hybrid 2nd, XLE 3rd.. Only beat out in 2019 by the Subaru Ascent. For 2015-2018 it was number 1 mid-sized SUV.. Mini-van isn't going to tow 5000 lbs.
@darienmiller10324 жыл бұрын
Pretty weird of Toyota to put the same platform and engine into the highlander and sienna, yet produce different towing capacity. I feel like that was intentional honestly. There are 80s and 90s minivans with sub 160 horsepower that match the towing capacity of the sienna, so I feel like something is up. I still think the Sienna is a better family vehicle though, it's only marginally bigger (200 inches in length vs 195 for the highlander) with a much more comfortable third row and significantly more space with it up and even more when folded. The highlander is a fine vehicle honestly, but I feel like the Sienna, or any other minivan would be a better value personally. To each their own i guess.

My Highlander is still selling for the same price I paid for it a year and half ago. Yes, 4Runners hold value well. I might have bought one ,but couldn't find one with a 3rd row. Subaru started using chain after 2013, with the exception of the STI...still uses a belt.
@TakeDeadAim5 жыл бұрын
Good thing I know a long time 2016 Highlander owner....me. The real reason the gate is so slow is that although seemingly slow while doing a YT review...in the real world it was designed so that you walk out from Sams club or Costco, hit the button...while it's lifting, you turn around and grab your first box...and by the time you've turned around with it, it's almost fully opened. Vice versa, after it's all in, you hit the "close" button and by the time you've moved the cart, opened the door, sat down, secured your seat belt...it locks and latches. In the REAL world it's a non issue. If you want a great, reliable SUV which will spend 100x the time on the road than in the shop...and will do so comfortably...buy the Highlander. If you want "style" points or feel you need to follow trends and don't mind sitting in the shop or driving a loaner...buy anything made in Germany.

This isn't that car, and reviewing it with a clear longing for it to be something else... a track queen which the driver has to fight to restrain the inner racing demon is a major disservice.

@stea86297 жыл бұрын
Your reviews are outstanding, Just jumped from a 2016 highlander limited to a 2017 Highlander limited (Canadian), I have absolutely no regrets, having received it yesterday here are my comments. To be clear I rate this newer edition 9.5/10 if not more. The 2016 would be a 9/10 (to be fair i've driven less then 200 KM so far so its fresh out of the "box" comments The things I like less: The Transmission seems hesitant in low gears, especially when your accelerating after slowing down, it does not appear to be as refined. I find that the Navi screen is dimmer and I have to remove my polarized sunglasses when backing up where It was clear on the 2016. Brightness at max everywhere I could tweak it. Lane keep assist even at optimal setting is somewhat effective, adaptive cruise disconnects at 40 KPH so warning to anyone if you rely on that, you'll learn that one quick anyway. The things I like the most: Without knowing if they jigged the suspension this edition sounds quieter, smoother and tiny bit closer Lexus like ride. The technology for 360 Camera, the detail such as highlander logo displaying on the ground at night is sweet and elegant (logo). Finally modified the cup holder separator for smaller coffee cup, If you own a 2016 or 14-15, I'd order one from Toyota now. I dont mind the engine stop, my understanding is that if you don't press fully on the brake then engine keeps running therefore you don't have to bother with the button to disable. Steering appears smoother with less feedback(good or bad thing) again compared to the 2016. Removal of the physical Blind spot monitoring button is great news, If you rely on this there is no warning that its disabled, beside a heated steering wheel button you easily deactivate it (its thru the console setting now). The new fascia is a significant improvement on the overall look of the vehicule. Overall extremely impressed and satisfied, love the Ooh La La red Mica colour and the technological changes they brought in. If you still have the Highlander try the "power on" (forget the setting name its written in a rectangle green box within the setup) in the setting, based on the red collar appearing in the console screen I believe its the "sport" mode and might help with the take off.

My wife and I have a 2016 HL XLE. It replaced out 2008 Mazda CX9 Grand Touring. Yes, it is a little bit soft compared to the CX9. In the 8 years that we had the CX9, we had issues with front brake rotors warping within the first year,, the metallic inside trim flaking off, and a couple of injectors going bad. Before the CX9, we had a 2003 HL Limited. We sold that to a friend when it had 70k miles in it. It now has 280k miles, both of their sons drove that HL through college, and it is still running good except for the busted AC unit. I think we made the right decision getting a 2016 HL instead of the 2017 CX9 that I also looked at. One more thing I didn't like with the CX9 is that it has a small engine with a turbo in it. I just prefer a normally aspirated v6, especially in the long run.

Your car reviews are the best anywhere, print or video.! Love the channel! My wife has a 2017 we have had it for a year. Its the 4 cyl fwd. Bought it because was a super cheap lease. She loves it. But 2 things i notice are: 1) They got the suspension tuning all wrong on the 4cl fwd. waaaaayyyy too stiff. They must have put the same or similar shocks and springs from the 6cyl awd in the 4 cyl 2wd. As it rides super stiff, it handles excellent for a suv, with very little body roll. The other thing is that this car has a really high cowl and a low roof. If you set the seat at a height that lets you feel normal looking out compared to other cars, you really really have to duck your head getting in or you will bang your head on the top of the door opening. Its a safety thing I know on new cars, to have the strongest body and so short glass, but it is really pronounced in this car. Having said that she loves it and we will probably buy it or get another at lease end if the deal is similar..

Thank God they didn’t downsize the engine and slap a turbo on it. Eco-boost or whatever else you want to call it equals fairly long term disastrous reliability. The overdone eco-boost complexity doesn’t get you the gas mileage of this V6. . An update; our 2018 Toyota highlander has had nothing but tire rotations oil changes and a cabin air filter change. Mechanically, knock on wood, has been absolutely flawless! Something I can’t say for Ford and General Motors products I have purchased in the past. Generally you buy one of those vehicles and it spends the first month or two at the dealer getting all the bugs out! And that used to be acceptable, and normal! With the Highlander it may be bland and I don’t care for the styling of the front end at all but once behind the wheel every knob and button is butter smooth the ride is near luxury. The confidence you have in the Highlander because if it’s reliability you just can’t buy in a GM or Ford. Sure you can spend more on extended warranties but that doesn’t help you when you’re broken down on the side of the road. This is an excellent appliance that does everything it’s intended to extremely well. A moment of silence for the rear hatch window that has now since then sent into oblivion. Up to 2019 it has it after that you’re on your own.

You should make the goal to where if a person that doesn't like cars or isn't looking for cars finds one of your videos they will continue to watch it just because it's a good video. Other than that I love the work your doing.

why the heated steering is not heated, only partially . Should be advertised as a partially heated steering wheel. I have arthritis and a (trigger) finger and this was important to me I did not know it didn't know it wasn't until too late

As you said, the slow electronic lift gate is to prevent lawsuits from idiots who gets too close to the gate and get hit. So why complain?

Yes b/c being stuck in traffic in an "exciting car" makes it all that much better??

Dan Gros Who said anything about being stuck in traffic. Great comfortable cruiser but that's it. Worst than a minivan

and exciting car would still make you laugh when a large SUV is next to you in traffic and you go "wow! that SUV is huge!!". or kids start asking you about you keep rowing the gear lever back and fourth and why you keep moving your left leg.

I love the fact that you put the same effort into your videos no matter the price tag or purpose of the car. Is there any chance that you'll be reviewing a Honda Pilot in the future? Keep it up!
