I'm on my second highlander in 15 years and love it. You should also mention that it's build on the mini van frame and suspension not a truck. So it rides a lot better than a truck. Smooth ride, lots of room, easy to enter and exit. Slide right in, unlike a sedan that's low to the ground.

@teresas3543 4 года назад

Just bought my 2018 V6 LE about 3 weeks ago, it drives great. It has 29,000 miles on it and I hope to keep it as long as it will keep me. I had a 2003 Honda Odyssey EX for 16 yrs until someone crashed us, that was a great car but now the kids are bigger so I ventured out to a SUV. I saw this video after my purchase, but I did my research and glad that it’s “Scotty” approved, not cheap but I wanted another long lasting vehicle 🚗

@Robsbrd99 5 лет назад

Hey Scotty, I'm 50 years old. My parents bought a 2016 v6 brand new. It now has 7k miles on it. I think that thing will probably outlive us all. Looks great next to my 4runner and Challenger.

@midnitemonty 5 лет назад

I just bought a 2019 Highlander XLE.. its very smooth / well equipped / well put together. The problem with the 3rd Gen highlander is that they are still VERY expensive used.. a 2014-2016 with under 50k miles is still 26k+ at least around here in the NE.

My son-in- law is a mechanic. When we started looking at the Buick Escalade he told us GMs have timing belt issues. I said what about a Toyota Hghlander he said it's one of the best cars on the market. My brother as driven toyota for 30yrs. and never had any issues other than replacing tires and brakes and scheduled oil changes he never took them in for anything more. We bought a new 2018 Highlander with the 3rd seat for our grand kids and we love it!!

@konradhittner4668 5 лет назад

We like our ‘11 Highlander a lot. The 2.7 liter 4-cyl is quite adequate for four people and a pile of luggage. If I was towing anything, or hauling more people with their stuff in a rooftop cargo box, the V-6 or the hybrid might be a better idea. 20-26mpg, and pretty simple and very reliable for a modern car. We have 150K miles on ours, and it sure seems like it’ll get to 300K without huge cash transfusions.

@chrismadden9897 5 лет назад

Thank you Scotty for the information. I've been looking for a SUV that our family can use to travel in, and I was looking for a used Toyota Highlander as one of my top three choices of vehicles to buy to fit the bill. My concerns were the reliability y of one SUV that can last several years, which can be exclusively used for traveling. I think I found the answer. Keep it up Scotty, love your videos.😁

I've owned 2 Honda Pilots (2005 and a 2010), the crossover version of the Nissan Pathfinder (huge mistake, horrible CVT) and now a 2016 Highlander. The Highlander is far and away the best of the bunch and it hasn't given me a lick of trouble. Oil changes, new tires and a new battery were all that were needed over my 4 years of ownership. The car is as solid as it was brand new, with nary a rattle or a squeak. I am seriously considering buying a 2020 when they arrive in dealerships.

I enjoy watching and getting all of the information you share with the viewer. I have been on the fence about buying a "New to me" used car. I'm leaning towards the Highlander. I've been gathering as much info as a can about them. One thing I do know is that not all of the models have a timing chain. The four cylinder from 2001 thru 2007 and 2009 thru 2014 do indeed have a timing chain. The 2001 thru 2007 V6 has a timing Belt. The 2008 thru 2014 V6 has a timing chain. This info is only applies to Gasoline powered cars.
