Its a minivan for people who dont want to drive a minivan.

Evie's right! When everything does what it's supposed to do, and does it well, you do feel something!

[flatgts]

Your armrest test alone has earned a Subscribe! Such an important aspect of driving comfort that is overlooked by every other reviewer 👍

I agreed with your trim recommendation until I bought that exact trim (XLE Hybrid AWD). The biggest issue is that it lacks any sort of parking sensors, meaning you'll have no idea when that massive front hood is going to bump into your garage or the car parked in front of you. Another major gripe is the lack of seat memory if you often switch drivers. Other then that, the XLE Hybrid has been an excellent choice 2k miles in.

Too many Toyota dealers are marking it above MSRP.

I have a 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD w/pano sunroof, 360 bird’s eye camera triple black. Traded in a 22 Sienna Hybrid for it. It has surpassed all of my criteria, gets 29mpg, plenty of power, looks great, not as roomy as the Sienna but it’s not a minivan!!! Definitely a great vehicle-highly recommend!!!

I don't NEED 13 cup holders, but I WANT them now

About an hour ago I saw this car at a restaurant. Actually, it parked next my van, I went to see because it looked beautiful and simple. The badge was reading KLUGER. Then I remembered tha kluger is same as highlander, badges changes in different market. I know the old kluger and wanted it, but this new looks so nice. I hope to get it some day. This and harrier/RX Lexus. Nice choice man.

I’m definitely digging the Grand H. I’ll see next year how I feel about it. Loving the MAX tech. I also really like the Pilot though, I’ve been driving one since ‘17 - super practical with zero issues so far. ‘17 was a good year it seems…

[BullittHilts]

I think it looks really nice. I like the idea of all that torque in a big family car - but as a van fan, I still laugh at the cargo room behind the 3rd row of 3 row SUV’s.
If you don’t need to tow, the Sienna is the way to go for family hauling imo.

And yes I know the Sienna is funny looking, but it’s growing on me. Perhaps they’ll restyle it to a more angular look someday - I’m curious to see what they do.

Very well put together review. The clapping, going through the features, etc. Very entertaining. Subscribing

[chadkellan]

Looks like a bigger version of the RAV4. Should have been called the Grand RAV4 🤔

[jd]

Sienna is way better when it comes to interior space

[Shambles]

Exterior and interior look very nice to be honest . plus it's a Toyota nothing will gone wrong 👌

We reserved the Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum Edition because my husband had a lot of problems with the battery in the hybrid's of the other Toyotas that we have owned. We have had a Highlander Limited Edition gas model and two Prius Hybrids. They had the hybrid of gas and battery in them, and with the two of our Prius models, we had to replace the batteries 6 times. Four on one and two on the other, so he was very hesitant to get another hybrid. So, we have ordered the Platinum model in the red color ( I forgot the name of the color😅) with the black interior. I wanted the brown but could not find that anywhere. So, we are currently waiting for ours to get to our dealership. In the meantime, my husband had also bought a Red Toyota Tundra! He absolutely loves it! It was the Limited Edition and came fully loaded. So, we are definitely a Toyota family! Also, do you recommend mud flaps for that car. We were not able to order one with the features that we wanted so I would have to buy them and have them installed. What do you think? Last thing, I can't drive right now but maybe I will be able to in the future. It is due to health issues. So, how did you like the safety features? I don't like the fact that it stops for you. You did say that you could turn that part off right? How about the other safety features? I didn't get the chance to drive it so I didn't get the chance to test out those functions. I would really like to hear your opinions on the different ones. We bought the Grand Highlander because we absolutely loved our Highlander which we bought in 2015 and I wanted more room and safety features that we did not have in the other cars. Our Highlander was in excellent condition and our daughter and son-in-law needed a newer car so we sold ours to them. They have two little girls and one more on the way! They really love it! Anyway, I really appreciated your review and I would love to hear more about the safety features! Have a wonderful day and God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤

Love these videos Micah...very informative infos on all these type of vehicles.

[NoBettaFeta]

Great review of the Rav…10? Seriously the design cues really evoke the current gen Rav4 and if I was in the market for such a large SUV this would be a contender because of it.

[Senor_]

😂 I agree with the Mrs. I recommend maneuvering around the parking lot!😂😂😂 Micah is trying to go to jail! I love y'all.

[RUSH__fan]

The hard plastic makes for a "Steven Slate" version of a storage area. I don't understand why areas to put your phone aren't nonslip.

[bovver]

Would you pick this or Honda Pilot Elite/Trailsport?
