If there were something better, we'd buy it. It tows my boat, it hauls a lot of stuff, high visibility, but not too big; good visibility out of it, no troubles

its great, like it better than the new models. efficiency at 22 is marginal, but we need its capability.

Outstanding service

Honest, knowledgeable folks who take care of their customers! While they have your vehicle they will give a look over to be sure there are no mechanical or safety issues that need attention. If so, they let you know. I like that kind of service!

I love my Toyota Highlander. My husband bought this car for me 3 years before he passed away. That’s why it is so special to me. Never had any problems with it and I keep it maintained , washed and car pool my grandchildren to school and sports events.

LOVE MY HIGHLANDER

I needed a car with 3 rows of seat (not all the time, but every now and then) and my husband didn't want a van now that our kids are older. It has run really well. I purchased it used with 90K miles on it and now it has 190K and doing well. I like being a little bit higher than a sedan and not quite as large as some other vehicles to park. I LOVE IT!

Wonderful vehicle

I bought the vehicle used in the fall of 2009. My cousin had to sell it because of health reasons. It only had 14,000 miles on it, and was practically new. I had a mechanic check it and it was in excellent condition. I've had no problems with it, other than having to get used to a wind noise - the reason for it couldn't be determined, and now I hardly notice it.

my Toyota Highland

We have had this vehicle since late 2004, purchased new 2005 model. This car runs great, handles well , and we have had no serious issues with it. It is garaged at all times, and it is not driven a great deal.

the best

Won't ever give it up I have used it to move all 3 of my kids to college and back over the last 14 years. Its been a workhorse allowing us to meet our gardening needs. And the most important aspect is that the Highlander gives us a quality ride with a feeling of safety on the highways

2005 Toyota Highlander

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.

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!

2005 Toyota Highlander LE

This is the most comfortable, responsive, and dependable car that I have ever owned. I have rented other makes and models over the years and have driven several other Toyota models. In my experience, this particular Toyota is great!

Best overall car I’ve ever had

Sure footed in winter, a vehicle I can always count on. This is the best and most trustworthy car I’ve ever owned . You would never know that this car is 14 years old. Perfect size for all -efficient to run. Easy on maintenance.

2005 Toyota Highlander

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!

completely happy

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.

Love it, buying a new one soon. I have the highlander 15 years with 140000 miles, very reliable vehicle. Small AC problem once, normal maintenance tires, breaks, battery etc change oil every 3000 miles, runs great.

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

excellent vehicle

230000 miles on this 2005 Highlander and I plan to keep it for life! Best vehicle maintenance wise I have ever owned. It's also a very comfortable vehicle. I have enjoyed this vehicle more than many others I have owned in the padt.

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.
