I have a 2009 Highlander. Shes over 207000 miles. Today I drove her to San Antonio Tx from Corpus Christi. As usual she drove perfectly giving me gas mileage of 26 on the highway. I've replaced battery three times since 2009, one tune up, two rear brake jobs and many many oil changes...just the things required by the warranty. Shes made well and made to last.
Maaaaaaaaan!!!! Joe you're the quarantine car review MVP my dude!!!! I literally been watching videos going back as far as two years ago and your energy is second to none!!! Doesn't matter if your reviewing a bargain basement car or a land missile, you bring the energy every.single.time. Stay safe out there bro!!!
I usually don’t watch Joes normal car/grocery getter/family car videos just because I’m not really interested in these kinds of cars but he still finds a way to make them entertaining, Raitis Rides truly has videos for everyone
Thank you Joe because of your thorough walkthrough of this car, my wife and I went to the dealership and bought and paid for a brand new 2021 Toyota Highlander Platinum. Definitely wish you the best and let’s get you to 1M subs!!!
My wife and I each own Toyota vehicles. A 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-road and a Prius 2, which is my wife’s by the way😀. My mom worked her butt off for 40 years, recently retiring, and just picked up her new 2020 highlander hybrid platinum two days ago. She loves it and smiled the entire way home, just as my wife and I did. We are happy for her and sleep well knowing she will be safe driving it. Great review and love the comedic parts too, hilarious!!!! Thanks and stay safe out there! I also shared your video with my mom so she could have as a learning tool for some of the features. 👍
My parents just got this SUV (platinum) and it is amazing!!! I love the features and how comfortable it is and we are really pleased with its quality and the overall experience.
Joe. Nice review. Thanks for doing these reviews for us. Love it. keep them coming. I like the Highlander as long as I don’t have to sit in the 3rd row. Def a zonk for that 3rd row. I also gotta zonk that hood prop rod. For 50 large there should be struts. Esp since my 2019 Camry SE has them.
As always, another great quality review. I like Toyota but not willing to spend $50,000 plus on one, especially since I don’t require third row seating. Rather spend $50,000 on a smaller luxury SUV. Nice looking vehicle though and you can’t beat Toyota reliability and resale value.
After seeing what the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride offers in terms of features for the money all these other brands have to step up now. Especially on the top level trims they should be offering at a bare minimum ventilated 2nd row seats and USB connections in that 3rd row. And what's up with the prop rod for the hood on a Platinum trim level? No
Joe you always find ways to put humor in your videos and that’s why your a great RUclipsr. Not only that you put out great content as well! Keep up the good work sir!
Your detailed description of what you like and don’t like are great. Your hand gestures are on point. I like this vehicle more because of this video. I used to write it off because I like the last generations design. I still like the last design better, but I will consider this model now.
I loved it, but it was missing some pretty basic options like auto dimming & folding mirrors and the height of the passenger seat is not power adjustable.
Bought a new 2007 Highlander Limited. Also a new 2014 Highlander Limited. Thinking about buying a new 4th generation Highlander in 2021 or 2022. Perfect car for my wife and myself. I have three concerns about the new redesign. They did away with the rear lift window which was a major convenience, also downsized the gas tank capacity, and supposedly downsized the front seat area somewhat which would almost be a dealbreaker if I can’t fully stretch my legs out. At 6’2” inches and bad knees, I need all the room I can get up front. I really love the reliability of Toyota and would prefer to buy another one as we travel cross country and have had no major problems with these vehicles. But I will be looking at the Telluride also although I don’t know their reliability record.
Armrest are skinny. I agree! under padded. So the 2nd row won't fold and fall and fold down in the compartment for a clean and clear entry to the 3rd row?
@Mario S. yeah I'd say he's right up their with doug, a little less in depth, but that is cause doug uploads maybe once every other day, joe uploads 2-3 times a day
@Mario S. dont shit on doug, he buys all his own plane tickets and hotels, because he doesn't want any bias in his reviews, he also spends a lot of time making sure to have humour and in depth reviews, I love raitis rides too, but i dont want to shit on doug, you can have you personal opinion, but it's wrong
@Mario S. I still believe joe is on the level of doug, but saying one is better than the other and trying to enforce your opinion about it is just being an asshole, they both have been creating very high quality content for a long time
@@chrisinsocalif 2020 Toyota Highlander. Very good on gas. Comfortable seats. Smooth and quiet ride. I drove to Hollywood Fl. from KC safely. I also like the slippery w/wet, Snow, incline parking traction!!! Plenty of space in the rear. My only concern is the 3rd row seating leg room! Beautiful panoramic sunroof. Very nice and large display touchscreen. I made the right choice 😊
i give a zonk for taking away extending thigh cusion they had in previous model and seat height adjustment. Otherwise nice vehicle. I already have a toyota so not looking to buy another vehicle for 15 -20 more years...
@Armando Sturzenegger I havent bought one yet because im planning of giving what i drive to a friend but she is not ready yet. The best time to buy is now because of the pandemic. You can get 0% apr and also bargain for the price
Agreed. The exterior fit and finish on the 2020 Highlander at my local Toyota dealership was consistent but unimpressive---all the panel gaps were surprisingly large. 😟
I test drove both. The Lexus similarly equipped is more than $10000 more. However, the Lexus is more quiet and luxurious. The tech features are about the same. The Lexus is much smaller both in passenger and cargo space.
Hi, I was thinking of buying Highlander 2023 XLE model but many of friends told me that it does not give much mileage with Gas and asking me to go for Hybrid. Can you please advise?
Why would Toyota remove the leg extension for in the driver seat . Such a disappointment and the button that lets you open the window from the tailgate
They got rid of the rear glass opening based on feedback. Everyone complained about how slow the rear hatch was. By removing the rods and extra weight associated with an opening rear glass. The rear lift gate is much faster now. Toyota’s research showed that the huge majority of Highlander drivers are women. The thigh extender was not needed and not being used and they eliminated it.
I would zonk about not having a 12-volt at the tailgate at $51K. How am I suppose to pump air into my raft now... solution... plug into the passenger or driver side which is a pain. 😖😖😖
@@fcg243 it is, Toyota didn't put a 12-volt in the 3rd generation Highlander and then now, they missed an opportunity to finally add one in the 4th generation.
CRISPY BADBOI Hi Crispy Badboi, How do like the highlander so far? I am thinking either RX 350 and Highlander Platinum. I like the quietness of RX but highlander feel more updated inside. Thanks
I recently bought 2021 rx350 Regret my decision I could have saved $5,000 getting platinum highlander It has many features not featured on base Lexus Such is 360 cam Rear view Mirror becoming a cam Torque vectoring Real leather Rx is end of cycle Unless you are gonna wait get next gen rx get platinum for sure
Can someone tell me how the front leg and hip room is on the newer highlander, for larger people, 6'4"? I love the looks and see it has a lot of legroom, but is it worth it over a full size vehicle? Thank you for any input. I had a Nissan Frontier for 5 yrs, and loved it, but felt cramped with my large frame.
Love the job Toyota did on this remake. It's nicer than the Lexus RX, from a functional standpoint. If not for the Korean twins, this would be my top pick.
@@florinvid I agree! Didn't you read my post? "If not for the Korean twins..." Sadly, we don't get the Telluride here; just the Palisade. But it's still awesome!
I think they could of done a better job with the navigation screen the right arrow side just looks out of proportion to the left side/ and u should have power 3rd row fold at this price
I don’t like that lower portion the rear bumper it looks like a cheap aftermarket add on, maybe it was the angle, sun ? it doesn’t match the overall profile joe
Great video. In terms of the interior of the Highlander, I'm just not a fan of that sideways "Y-shaped" piece that flanks the right side of the infotainment display. It looks out of place and an after thought.
It’s a nice vehicle but I’m still not liking the bulging quarter panel design and definitely not the interior colors. Good job Joe! Nice job to Lori as well! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I shopped both the Highlander and the RX at the dealership. Similarly equipped RX is about 10000 more. The RX is a lot smaller. The second row is cramped. The cargo room is pathetic. On the other hand, the quality of materials and the sound deadening in the RX is superior.
@@jordanrosenberg9816 not really. Toyota has been having engine problems for the past 2 years with their RAV4 and a few other models. Hyundai hasn't had major problems for a long time. Plus Hyundai/Kia have an excellent warranty to back up their reliability.
Not bad the screen looks like should be in a fighter jet.The muffler hanging underneath looks weird.anyways Toyota can sell anything,they have the name.great review
Awesome review! While the Hyundai Palisade has some nicer features like the full digital dash, 2nd row ventilated seats, and power folding 3rd row..it also has a lot of quality complaints on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety website. So I'm now heavily leaning towards purchasing this Highlander Platinum because Toyota has a proven record of quality..while Hyundai is struggling with that on their Palisade. Still would love it if Toyota added the same features I mentioned the Palisade has for increased comfort.
We just bought the Highlander platinum we live in the metropolitan New York area they can’t keep the things in stock there are no deals other than some $1500 rebate. If you want to Highlander to have all of the features of the palisade than the price is going to go up
Internet says 8 inches. Which is competitive (Explorer and Grand Cherokee have more though). I'm guessing what you're seeing is design based.. and I kinda see that too. Has more of a minivan shape to my eye..and that awful crease on the side? 🤦🏼♂️
This is my biggest problem with the look of the Highlander. The 4Runner looks so much better with the added lift. I want to love it, but it looks so meh.
Well that was amusing. You said your wife was showing up in the mirror but I could not see anything both times you showed her. She must be wearing her cloak of invisibility. 😉
For the first time ever, I’m leaning more towards another family hauler based on outer design alone. Great review, but I think the big T took a step back with this new design. Too cartoonish. Atlas looks more civilized, Toyota has the quality. Decisions, decisions....

Zonk: $51k. Zonk: 20mpg city...no way...more like 12-14mpg. Those 3.5 V6 engines guzzle gas. Zonk: Beige/Brown interior color. Plus side: Redesigned exterior. Another fantastic video!
This model year reminds me so much of a first generation Hyundai Veloster(but stretched). The grill, headlights, A & D pillars..
Toyotas are designed for old people so it doesn't surprise me that they're 6 years behind on styling on most of their models.
shamwow. haven't heard that in a while. Thanks Joe and Mrs. Raiti
Which one would you buy, this highlander or the CX-9 Mazda?
So, do you like this better the telluride?
yes, most definitely.
Very good review, I’m buying the same color Luna dust, black interior. Picking it up on Friday.
I love ❤️ it
Thanks Kimberly! You will love it!

@@chrisinsocalif 2020 Toyota Highlander. Very good on gas.
Comfortable seats. Smooth and quiet ride. I drove to Hollywood Fl. from KC safely.

Snow, incline parking traction!!!
Plenty of space in the rear.
My only concern is the 3rd row seating leg room!
Beautiful panoramic sunroof. Very nice and large display touchscreen.
I made the right choice 😊
"How often can you say you got 12 inches?" LMAO

Riyad Kalla That’s what I said! He’s so sweet to her 😊
which one is better car; MDX or Highlander?
I wish Toyota can make aluminum hoods if they're going to keep on doing prop rods on most vehicles.
Mopar Tom especially at this price point
@@leveraged6694 absolutely!
the camry has hydraulic struts
@LEGIT.PLAYZZ ikr
@sanju2, how often have you replaced a hood? 🤷🏼♂️
Which is smoother on rough roads saquia or highlander??
My last 2010 Highlander was sold a few months back. My next Highlander coming up next few months.
Can we turn off the electric rear view mirror? Gives me motion sickness
True story about Joe: When he came out of the womb he was holding a Twinkie and his first word uttered? Iconic....Or maybe ZONK? LOL
victor bozzo 😂
Definitely ZONK. "sorry but I'm gonna give that exit a zonk, way to narrow on my way out, and a second zonk because there was no USB in there."
Joe, do a review on the 2020 Highlander Hybrid AWD either in Limited or Platinum with the navigation, please.
This will be my next vehicle in a few months. I test drove all three row SUV and I found the Toyota to be the best.
People overhype the Telluride, it wont age well. I will be buying a highlander soon as well

Hey Joe at 17:50 I dont know if you noticed that panel gap in the d pillar but it doesn't look good. Great video!
Agreed. The exterior fit and finish on the 2020 Highlander at my local Toyota dealership was consistent but unimpressive---all the panel gaps were surprisingly large. 😟
The most beautiful SUV from Toyota imo
is the highlander ride / quietness same as the Lexus RX350? For 50k the price of this is in Lexus territory
You getting the base, this one you getting fully loaded, this one have more the same tech as the fully loaded Lexus
I test drove both. The Lexus similarly equipped is more than $10000 more. However, the Lexus is more quiet and luxurious. The tech features are about the same. The Lexus is much smaller both in passenger and cargo space.

Thanks
I recently bought 2021 rx350
Regret my decision
I could have saved $5,000 getting platinum highlander
It has many features not featured on base Lexus
Such is 360 cam
Rear view Mirror becoming a cam
Torque vectoring
Real leather
Rx is end of cycle
Unless you are gonna wait get next gen rx get platinum for sure
9:18 Ok, I’ll admit it. I literally LOL’ed.
The MSRP under $50k would be perfect.
Can someone tell me how the front leg and hip room is on the newer highlander, for larger people, 6'4"? I love the looks and see it has a lot of legroom, but is it worth it over a full size vehicle? Thank you for any input. I had a Nissan Frontier for 5 yrs, and loved it, but felt cramped with my large frame.

Toyota did this one right. Would like to see the difference between an LE and Platinum trim.
Dave Vil its about 10k difference in price
I don’t like that lower portion the rear bumper it looks like a cheap aftermarket add on, maybe it was the angle, sun ? it doesn’t match the overall profile joe
How's the quality? The tacoma is lacking in every which way. I was really disappointed. Any owners?
Great video.

What is this thing sticking back of the passenger seat in the second row at 16:00?
For child seat.
Great review as always 👍🏻
Thank you so much for letting me share it with you!
Isn’t the Lexus RX also 51k. Why get this when you get a Lexus - in terms of styling.
Cuz you getting the base rx and this one is fully loaded, you can't get rx fully loaded for 51k
Jankuba Kromah The 2020 Lexus RX 350 F sport is 49k ...... the base starts at 44k
Jankuba Kromah base rx is 45k, 51k rx with good options is way better than this
Does the rx has 3rd row seats?
I shopped both the Highlander and the RX at the dealership. Similarly equipped RX is about 10000 more. The RX is a lot smaller. The second row is cramped. The cargo room is pathetic. On the other hand, the quality of materials and the sound deadening in the RX is superior.
When will this car come to the Arabian gulf specifically Bahrain and how much will it is price be?

Only on the higher trims.

For the first time ever, I’m leaning more towards another family hauler based on outer design alone. Great review, but I think the big T took a step back with this new design. Too cartoonish. Atlas looks more civilized, Toyota has the quality. Decisions, decisions....
I seen the new 2020 Toyota Highlander a few weeks ago and when I say that thing is super UGLY, I like the older model better!
Does it have the same engine of Toyota Prado 2020 ?
No it has the same v6 as upper trim camry
The only problem with Highlander’s is that you don’t get any status driving them even though they cost the same as most luxury cars.
Hello Mr. Raiti would you please if you can do a revew on the Nissan Armada.

A little.
