The vehicle is 17 years old and still running with only 152500 miles. This vehicle will never attain the mileage of my previous vehicles. Honda CR-V lasted 294000, 17 years. Changing the oil @ no more than 7500 miles or 6 months whichever comes first. And use the brakes sparingly.

Reliability & satisfaction
Maybe the best car that I have ever owned. It still looks great (no rust) runs great and has fairly high mileage. I can count on this vehicle to not let me down and it hasn't. i will retain it as long as it keeps on as I have no desire to replace it!l

Toyota fan
Mi ‘05 highlander is practically part of my family. It’s great for hauling people, lumber and garden supplies. My wife and I really love it. I don’t work for my horse, it works for me! I would love to keep it for another 16 years!!

I enjoy the usability of the vehicle. It’s nice to have 4wd when most vehicles are AWD. Unfortunately my transmission failed at 170,000 miles. Still worth doing the repair. I now have 190,000 miles and I’m looking forward to seeing 300,000!

My first and only 4 wheel drive. I would buy one again, although I don't like the looks of the latest model. Myabe the new style will grow on me.
My son in law wants it if I'm ever finished with it. This is the Limited, 6 cylinder, with all the bells and whistles available at the time. This car has been no trouble whatsoever, purchased new in November, 2004. I've always had service at the suggested intervals.

Dependable - just need to be consistent on service and repairs. I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle and bought from my girlfriend who is the original owner. She made sure her car was serviced regularly. This car is truly safe, dependable and reliable.

Excellent vehicle if maintained!!!
Keep up with the maintenance on this vehicle and it'll last a long time two or three hundred thousand miles is common with this vehicle!! One of the best cars Toyota ever made!!! I've owned this car since new and I've only replaced the anti-lock brake sensor on the rear axle and the low pressure return for the power steering the line rusted through behind the front wheel on the right side everything else is just basic maintenance the car is great

Better than past vehicles I've owned
It's a good vehicle but requires maintenance like any old vehicle. Still gets expensive. Would definitely prefer a newer one since I know one thing after another will need replacing. Drives weird in the back though. Sounds & feels like the tires are gonna fall off & not a smooth ride. Rattles like.

The Zip car
It's been a great car, dependable, and cheap to keep. Unfortunately, it's beginning to show the years but still a great car. We'll keep it for anpther year or so, then maybe decide if we should look into a newer model.

Maybe the best vehicle I ever owned both mechanically and appearance wise. This SUV has satisfied me from the get-go and I do not see myself replacing it anytime soon, regardless of the mileage. It owes me nothing.

Excellent performance, comfort, and very dependable. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.
It has required low maintenance and I've only had minor repairs. It has been everything I needed in an SUV.
Thank you, Toyota!

Trouble Free / Versatile
This is my second time around with Toyota’s Highlander. V-6 powerful. Rear 3rd bench seat folds away for great cargo area. Rear seats fold away seamlessly to make everything behind the front seats to be wide open storage/cargo. Low maintenance; just routine brakes, oil, tires...a great car; I call it a truck!

Love it, love the brand. Fantastic, solid, dependable car even after 13 years. Would recommend the Toyota brand and the Highlander. Handles great in the snow, rain and other types of weather, V6 engine so it is spunky on the road.
