2nd Generation: 5:48
3rd Generation: 9:15
4th Generation: 10:19
Greg Macke - Your Car Angel goes through the problems to look out for when buying a used Toyota Highlander. Each generation is reviewed with the problem areas with engines highlighted. The 2.4 2AZFE engine specifically with stripped head bolts is looked into. The spark plug replacement maintenance in the 3.3 engine is also reviewed.
Other competing models such as the Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, Dodge Durango and VW Atlas, all which are inferior to the quality Highlander. The Honda Pilot and Subaru Outback are better and the only cars I would say compare to the Highlander. The complete Toyota Timing belt and timing chain list is given for all years of the highlander.
The Highlander Hybrid debuted in 2006 with third row seating as optional. There was a recall for the Inverter on the Hybrid.
The First Generation ran between 2001-2007. The second generation ran between 2008-2013 and the third generation ran from 2014-2019 with the current 2020 fourth generation model being the latest.

Just want to point out for anyone watching that Highlander 2nd Gen has a oil cooler pipe that is prone to bursting. There was a recall for them, some people have driven them and not had issues but if the pipe does burst then all the oil could drain out of your engine while driving and ruining your car. The solution is to buy a new one that is made out of metal rather than with rubber fitting like the vehicle came with. Depending on where you buy it you can find it for 60 dollars or 100. For something like this I wouldn't skimp out and buy a cheap part, buy the OEM Toyota part (prices I quoted are for what I found for OEM Toyota parts). You can do it yourself but you need the right tools and because it's metal it can be a pain to install, I recommend a mechanic to install it. Still a great car!

When my wife retired in 2012, we traded out 2003 Hylander with only 90,000 miles for the 2012 Hylander. Today, 2020, it just turned 40,000 miles and this car is the best machine I have ever owned. It is a pleasure to drive and the V6 will haul ass. Great car for. traveling and it is a limited model. Great car. Dealers still call wanting to get their hands on it. NO way will I trade this vehicle. Not working anymore, we don't put many miles on it and every six months, it goes in for tire rotation, oil and filter change. I have all. the record since the day of purchase.

@TakeDeadAim 4 года назад

One of the major reasons the 3.5 is so bullet proof is that it's basically designed like a race engine. It has a 4 bolt, cross bolted main bearing set. I talked to a former Toyota engineer who said the lower end is as strong as a Dodge Hemi. Solid engine for sure. Keep the oil changed and swap in new plugs every 100k or so and it'll last a LONG time!

@patty109109 4 года назад

TakeDeadAim I have just over 100k on one. Original plugs runs like a top and barely darkens the oil. Synthetic every 10k and to be honest I never even check (let alone add) oil between changes.

@TakeDeadAim 4 года назад

@@patty109109 Yeah my wifes 2016 only has 40k on it but she says it's her favorite SUV she's owned to date...and we've owned a LOT of them. From GMC to Subaru, Lexus and Honda to now this. I really like it as well. We took it on a 4k mile trip out west and it never missed a beat regardless of whether we were at 11k feet up in Leadville Colorado in the snow or down in Arizona running in the desert at 90mph. Fully loaded. I adhere to around 7k OCI's using Schaeffers(which I buy in bulk at the shop) and considering I tore apart an LS with 400k on only Schaeffers...it looked virtually new...this 3.5 will go at least that in it's lifetime with good oil and regular changes.

Hey, how is your 2015 holding up? I’m looking to grab one this weekend. Found one with 15k miles

@BuchCherry Год назад

@@mattsaljanin583 over 100k miles now and she's running great. Average fuel economy is 25mpg, I'd say my driving is about 50/50 hwy/city and I also always use mid-grade gas, it is pricier but I get 20% more distance out of a tank using the better fuel so it still works out better in the end and is better for the car itself as well. One thing I should note that I just learned the other weekend is that if you are going to take this vehicle (or any hybrid) camping etc where it will be sitting for a few days, be sure DRIVE it in order to keep the battery charged. We were opening and closing the liftgate multiple times through the week and drained the battery. Simply starting/running the car like you would with a traditional vehicle one won't work since the engine turns off as soon as the battery reaches a minimal charge. Additionally when we were trying to jump it from the contacts at the front of the vehicle it was not working and the internal systems were acting strangely. When we connected directly to the battery however (located in the back of the vehicle) it jumped just fine. Apparently if the battery gets too low, the computer system doesn't like to jump from the front contacts. Other than that I love her and it's been a great vehicle for me for the last 18 months and many more to come I'm sure!

We had to pay the library $90 as they are still in there. Also the aux input stopped working. And now my 3 yr old knocked out the radio dials. 😬 I found the NAV to be very confusing to use.

@Zippy1415 4 года назад

Hi Greg, There's one other thing to watch out for in the 2006=2007 Highlander Hybrids, which is a faulty ABS accumulator. There was a recall with free replacement if the car was within 10 years of entering service or had less than 150,000 miles. The car qualified for the recall repair if it generated certain codes, including C1391 - Abnormal leak in accumulator. The many lights on the dash display would light up and "Check VSC System" would show on the display. Mine (2007 Highlander Hybrid) had a chattering pump on the ABS accumulator since the day I bought it used at a Toyota dealer, who said, "It just does that", implying that it was normal. It is not. Gee, a car salesman mislead me, imagine that... Even so, I have driven the car for over ten years and never had any other problem with it. It did have the inverter problem fixed under recall which went smoothly and was totally free. It has been a joy in ever way and needed no repair until now. It still looks like a new car, and the interior is in perfect condition. Mine never generated a code until very recently when it was over three years out of date for the recall replacement even though the mileage at 133,000 was within the 150,000 mile limit. Toyota wanted $2800 to make the repair, which I had done at an independent mechanic for $2500. The main expense was the ABS accumulator, which was about $2000. I went ahead and had the repair done and now the car is just absolutely great, silent and smooth and currently getting over 30MPG around town. So, if the ABS accumulator has not been replaced under recall, and especially if the ABS accumulator pump runs and runs, chattering even after the car is turned off, be aware that a very expensive repair is just waiting to happen.

@MyNameIsEarl42 4 года назад

Compacts, Sedans, Crossovers, Medium Size Rock-Crawlers, Minivan, and Personal trucks.... yes. Sports cars, Cargo/passenger Van's, conversion trucks (ambulances), heavy duty trucks, fleets... not so much. There is nothing above the Tundra, and no conversion or fleet programs for trucks or vans. New Supra is a disappointment (financially) Honda has way less of a lineup and leads in nothing. The new NSX is not a class leader. Nissan has passenger and cargo vans. Leads in nothing, but has a strong following for the GTR. Ford Chevy and Dodge all argue over which one is best all around, and it's an inherited opinion at best, so I won't bother breaking them down. Just to mention a few class-leaders... F series, Charger, Corvette, Suburban, Sierria Conversion Program, F Series Conversion Program, Ram Conversion Program, E Series, Transit, Wrangler (Jeep)..... Toyota is very good at almost all of what it dips it's toes into (I'm not even going to get into other applications of Toyota/Honda like forklifts and dirtbikes).

@@thomasshanks6735 My Mom actually bought it and I don't want to say what she payed but we did get price within Bluebook range due to the dealer wanting way over value and I think her bank might have had a little say in that . Some caution lights did pop-up while taking it on a long trip so I'll be checking it out today with an scan tool .

Thanks for the warning advice on high mileage hybrids. Was considering a 2006 Lexus RX400H with 250,000miles with the same 3.3 drivetrain as the Highlander. It has full dealer service history and I had factored in needing a replacement reconditioned battery pack in the near future but your warning about all the other hybrid components is a very valid one. I have only good experience buying a few high mileage Toyotas over the years. The initial very low outlay and having no preciousness about daily driving them make them relaxing and satisfying ownership experiences. Currently have a diesel 4WD Toyota with 260,000 miles as a work that I am keeping (12 years and counting) but need to replace the BMW station wagon.

I had a 2005 Highlander Platinum with 175,000 miles and so decided to give this to my teenage daughter and upgrade to a 2014 Highlander Platinum. I loved that car, but unfortunately had a bad accident (due to medical reasons) and crashed the Highlander so that it was a total loss. All of the airbags deployed and my daughter and I escaped without injury despite hitting a guardrail at full speed. I now own a 2015 Highlander Platinum Hybrid and absolutely love the vehicle. The Highlander is fun to drive, a pleasure for long trips, reliable, and very safe!

@DM-mm1eb 3 года назад

@@ebonyyoung1265 Hello Ebony, that is a known problem. Try making sure the gas cap is tight or the seal is clean. I know this VCS issue is related to the Vehicle Traction Control/ABS (Anti lock Breaking System) but the above mentioned error can cause the vehicle to through this error. If this fails try disconnecting the battery for five minutes.

I just bought a well maintained 2010 Highlander Sport with 110k miles on it. Everything on it still works, I am very happy with it. My last car was an '05 Rav4. I chose it over a 4runner for it's fuel economy and proceeded to wear the thing out. This time I decided it's not practical to save money in the short term only to end up paying for it in the long run. I wanted more space, more power, more versatility. Most of all an uber reliable vehicle that can handle whatever I throw at it and the Highlander does not disappoint.
