2020 Toyota Highlander | The Family Dog

We review the new Toyota Highlander to discuss the good and bad and technical changes. With CUVs and SUVs from everyone, it's going to be difficult to make a choice for the right family vehicle. The Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Mazda CX9 are just a few that compete for buyer's money, which will you choose?

My dad still has a 2006 Highlander lol, he’s been off-roading, dirt riding, city cruising, everywhere and that sucker won’t die

[FasterThanSoup]

Couldn't make it through without

4:51 laughing out loud about the preferred seating position and
5:00 Jack laughing out loud
Total KO, dropped the tablet.

These times make me feel bad for Turbowski,
but what you guys have here is special.
I'm sure Scott sees that and wishes the two of you well.



Good luck shaking those visions from your head.

when I got my 2019 RAV4 I couldn't open up the hatch without physically unlocking the I dug through the car settings on the infotainment and saw I could change it. that one quirk really irritated me but no longer.

So it's just like a minivan except your kids can bang the back door into my car when you park next to me. Fantastic.

With the glitchiness of new technology in its competitors, I'm beginning tp appreciate Toyotas conservative approach for reliability.

[InvidiousIgnoramus]

"Customers wanted a minivan that wasn't a minivan"

Isn't that every large crossover ever?

[rbaker]

Toyota owners prioritize reliability over excitement. They're willing to spend good money for cars they know will last a long time.

I'm retired and 70 and kinda like boring. I also love Toyota's reputation. I'm giving the loaded Highlander serious thought.

[Kromer]

Love the segments in the video for easy scrolling!

[James-iltq]

Agree with the constant beeps on my Toyota. After a week took the gauge cluster out and ripped out that speaker. It's been quiet bliss since then 🤫

[AwesomeBob]

Loved hearing Jack's laughter. BTW, I'm really pleased with the consistency and results of your investment in the shop and your editing studio. It feels like tuning into one of my favorite TV shows and getting exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for taking the leap to bring us this great content!

Love your reviews. I wish automakers would send you trim levels that most people can actually afford.

Have owned 3 Highlanders. Complete reliability, comfort and impressive trade in value. Toyota is the best. Looks and electronic means zip to me when purchasing a vehicle.

12:10 I talked to a Cab driver who was driving a Sienna, and asked him how old the car was. He said around 900, 000 km, on it's second engine and second transmission. The engine lasted around 600, 000 km, the taxi company put in a new engine and kept the thing going. It's easily a million-km chassis, and very high mileage engine. Basically said that other than regular maintenance ("that is the key!" he told me), they were dead nuts reliable. Pretty good testament to Toyota's engineering.

Honestly one of my fav channels on the Tube! Ur Killin it!!!!

[thelawfamilyproduction]

I agree with this review completely. Test drove the Telluide and the Highlander.
10/10 would drive the Highlander again.

[lepidolite]

I always appreciate that he looks out for the practical uses of the vehicles

[kickkid]

We traded our Cadillac XT-5 for a highlander. It’s my wife’s car, we test drive everything. When it comes down to it you cannot beat the reliability of a Toyota. There might be better equipped models from other manufactures out there, but knowing that when your gone that your wife’s car won’t breakdown on her has its merit. There’s tons of room in this thing, if your looking for a great three row SUV I highly suggest a highlander

[tykszeto]

Aren't Highlanders among the longest kept by owners? Average is 15 years I think... So kind of like a dog for real

[chriss]

I originally wanted a Kia Telluride, so I went to the dealer to test one out. I liked it, it definitely looks very good. But then, I decided to try a toyota because I've always heard hype about their reliability etc etc, but I've always found them boring. So I test drove a Highlander....let me tell you... I was BLOWN away at the difference between this and the Kia. It might not be as flashy as the kia or others, but the build quality is astronomically better. The kia felt so plasticky and weak compared to this. It didn't strike me at first because I didn't really have a reference, but once I tried the toyota I could just FEEL the cheapness of the Kia. It was really eye opening. If you want solid built, definitely go for toyota.
