@birdyboyblue thanks for the reply .I found out today that I have the metal rod two of them not the rubber and today I changed my oil but the mechanic showed me that their is little oil leakage from the engine and told me to replace the two oil sway bear link
@@birdyboyblue the 2009 highlander limited I'm looking at is 80849 is this metal or rubber? It also has 194k but has been well maintained. Transmission fluid was last changed 75,000 miles ago. So if I get it I will change fluid again because it is due by now. They're asking $8,500. Is this a decent deal?
@@birdyboyblue thank you for your reply! I was searching all over trying to find your comment yesterday! Actually just purchased a 2011 Highlander limited AWD for $8,700 though a private seller. It has the updated lines as well. It runs great and is excellent shape. It is high mileage 203k. And have noticed that upon starting the car the AC doesn't blow cold until it gets moving. Would you say it's still a good deal or did I pay too much?
2008 - 2013 LIMITED standard is a 3.5 litre v6, produces 270 HP/248 lb. ft. of torque. It says this is what you will find in MOST used Toyota Highlanders. 19.6 gal fuel tank.
Just FYI: all wheel drive, as in the Highlander is different from 4x4 as stated in the video. 4x4 implies the vehicle is front wheel drive with the ability to lock in the rear wheel drive system. 4x4 is the drivers option. All wheel drive is a full time drive system
I own a 2013 limited and have a short commute to work. It only has 61,000 miles. Regular maintenance is done I’m hoping I can get 200,000 easy. I just hope it doesn’t rust away with the north winters.
Car Confections yes we are looking for a used Highlander for the wife that drives over a hundred miles a day moving her from a ultra-efficient Volkswagen TDI into something bigger
Very well done, but the only critique would be your segment on entering the third row. What you showed was the incorrect way of accessing the third row. Otherwise, great job!
Just got a 2008 sport with 112,000 miles for 9,500.. love the car but they are a pain to work on!! Other than that it’s comfortable ride, pretty fast too!!
I was thinking about getting a highlander limited in about a month or two, but I want to upgrade some things in it. Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the radio with an android auto unit? And is difficult to install a remote start kit on this generation?
It's hard to narrow down but I have the 2012 Limited and I'm getting about 14-17 or so MPG, mostly city driving. But, the computer is constantly calculating your MPG, even when you're sitting still, like ar a light or in a slow drive-thru. This makes your MPG reading look low because you can have a rating of 16 MPG when you entered the drive-thru, but by the time you leave your MPG may have dropped to 15 or even lower, due to the car just sitting and running.
I thought the center of the 2nd row came out completely in order to install that plastic stand between the remaining seats creating captains chairs in the 2nd row
Great car until battery dies. Had to get it towed because battery cable blew out and they needed to replace the cable on the battery and now they have to tow this car again because battery just died. This car won’t allow you to open any locked doors when its battery is dead. Faulty actuator door makes jumpstarting this car impossible. Can’t open driver door manually, can’t open passenger side door, can’t open trunk, and can’t manually open hood. Faulty actuator is the problem when battery dies. Always check the battery life of this particular car. The one I got is 2012.
@@dellisles3562 My trim is Limited, which has 3.5L V6 engine. The battery cable literally blew out. I had to take it to the shop to get the battery cable replaced. Mine is 2012 as well.

+Cody Gubernick I It is a good review , the only thing that I noticed that is not 100% accurate is that to get into the third row seat it is actually not that challenging as mentioned and that is because he only folded the second row seat to get in the third row seat , but the second row seat folds and SLIDES FORWARD leaving enough space to get easily into the third row seat . like I said otherwise it's a very good review.
It’s called 1AR-FE. No issues found. No weak points other than the materials in the cylinder block that has an expected lifetime of 150-200k miles and that’s just what modern car that can’t rebuild cylinders are like. However the engine used in Tacoma is called 2TR-FE and is stronger. Expected lifetime is 250k but there is some man that has done 1.3 million miles in his 4 cyl 2.7 L Tacoma.
My Advise to all American friends !!! Please do not buy highlander Hybrid, because per my experience i paid $6094 for replacing ABS , anti lock assembly without warranty, i decided to file my dispute to highway police due to dangerous braking safety, when my brake failed i was on 395 to DC with crazy noise ...
This is the best car review I've ever watched. This young man is obviously very intelligent and will be successful in what ever direct his life takes.
We appreciate the kind words! Thanks!
I guess I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?
My 2011 highlander just hit 200k! It's been a very reliable family car!

@@CarConfections still can't clearly tell the differences between the base, limited and sports models. Maybe you could just enlist them here.
Hi, there's an important feature that needs mentioning, that it has a manual sports mode. + to shift up, - to shift down.

This would be considered ASMR in 2023!
Great video of the 2nd generation Toyota Highlander!!! You guys are AMAZING!!!
Best reviews on RUclips. Sound was excellent, clear and very detailed. Professionally done.
Unlike reviewers just wanted to get some subscribers.
Thank you! We appreciate that!
there's a lever on the bottom of the 2nd row to flip it up so you can gain access to the 3rd row seats..
Blazin Dragon this guy is a fuckin idiot
There great suv 👍 don’t forget to upgrade the oil cooler lines to the metal ones or there a grenade waiting to happen
Do you have one, and are you considering selling it?
Fantastic review, so detailed! Thumbs up from down under.
Thank you! So many helpful details about the various trims, truly the most comprehensive video I’ve seen.
Glad you found the video helpful!
19:00 rear middle seat can fit it the cubby hole
Love our Highlander
I have an 04 limited. Great vehicle . would trade only for a 4runner
Great Review definitely one of my top 3 choices
Thanks!
This is the best Highlander review on the internet! Great job! Is this a 2008 model that you are showing?
Gavanshir Thank you very much! The one in the video was a 2008 model.
Yes thank you for not speaking too fast
Anyone have a video of which year is the best 3rd gen Highlander to buy? Least issues, etc?

Not too difficult. I’ve upgraded the radio and it wasn’t to bad to install.

Did u not check the battery life ? So is the car reliable or is that the only problem

What’s the point of that detachable plastic tray at 18:52???
Randy Gonzalez the middle seat actually goes in there and the tray takes its place
To use is it as an isle to walk back there.
Highlander is a crossover suv meaning your driving in a Camry platform i should it get a 4 runner
I will like to buy 2010 used highlander. Limited edition
I just bought one, it’s the best
Hows the reliability of the 2.7 4 cylinder on these?

Which generation of highlander hybrid you are talking about, they have a recall for first generation, currently they are recalling 2nd generation.
Hybrid??
