Toyota Highlander Dallas TX

Introduction

The Toyota Highlander is one of the company’s three entries in the burgeoning mid-size sport-utility segment—Toyota also sells the mid-size 4Runner and FJ Cruiser SUVs. In 2008, the Highlander was completely redesigned for the first time since being introduced in 2001. The new interior is now more luxurious and Lexus-like than the previous generation. On the outside, the Highlander features more aggressive and muscular styling. The redesign also stretched the Highlander inside and out. Interior space measures a comfortable and massive 145.7 cubic feet. In the previous version, the third-row seats seemed like an afterthought, but the latest Highlander’s third row is spacious enough for smaller adults to use. Even compared with heavier full-size sport-utility vehicles, the Highlander features competitive interior space and comfort for seven occupants.

Unlike those two other Toyota mid-size SUVs, the Highlander is built on a unibody platform, like a car, and could be considered a crossover vehicle. Compared with a traditional body-on-frame SUV, the unibody structure is less heavy and cumbersome, which gives the Highlander driving dynamics similar to those of a large car but with a high seating position. For those interested in towing, a Highlander with the towing package can pull up to 5000 pounds. The suspension is tuned to give a quiet and supple ride that will absorb most road imperfections with ease, even when equipped with the optional 19-inch wheels.
