Your Cherokee trailhawk time was almost 9 seconds. The v6 and turbo versions are mid 6. Was that supposed to say compass?

Please tell Toyota (and Lexus for the TX) that some people want to be able to option in a 2nd-row bench seat (5:48 and 7:11) so we can fit three people in the 2nd row, leaving all that cargo space you get with the third row folded flat. And no, I don't want the base XLE nor the next one up, I want that bench seat in the top trim! Why not for cyrin' out loud? It's a common mistake in the industry, but I'm begging Toyota/Lexus to be brave and fix the problem. Please!!!!

I've seen a good few of these Grand Highlander review videos, you're the only one I've seen so far that took it off-road. It's a very nice vehicle, top of my 'potential list'. Excellent review, thank you!

My wife and I have a 21 Rav4 Hybrid XSE, this is something I think we will be taking a look at when it hits lots.

Just purchased one! Was waiting for this video 😂🎉

[mhassouneh]

I have to tell you, man.. This is one of your best videos. Excellent shots and great journalism, as always.. But this one went beyond 👍

[Car_conversatinz]

The scenery in all your videos are so nice, I have to watch it on my TV!

[therichardrichyrich]

the Toyota Grand Highlander (or as I like to call it, the lifted Toyota Sienna without the sliding doors) is gonna be a huge seller imo!

[mariorivas]

You are, so far, the only car channel to give the correct cargo space info in YouTube. Amazing.

I remember seeing this vehicle driving around the Toyota plant a few months ago covered up and was curious. Cool to see it finally!

Having owned a Toyota Corolla, a Camry and currently an Avalon hybrid, I contacted my local Toyota dealer about purchasing a 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE. I was told they are taking orders (unknown delivery date) and their price is the MSRP plus a $10, 000 "market adjustment." Needless to say, their pricing news quickly dampened my enthusiasm for the Grand Highlander and for Toyota.

I have spent the last 3 days watching videos on the grand highlander. This is easily the best video.

[nielzachi]

8 inches of ground clearance, adult-friendly third row...impressive. Too bad they ditched their sweet V6.

[enobongjackson]

Your videos are great.
Honestly, I love your channel 🤞
Am off to go see another video from DSTV 😏

🔥🔥💯
I'd love to see how this competes with the Telluride so much

[LionRunner]

Can't wait to see you do proper offroad test on the Grand Highlander. I remember how bad the old Dynamic Torque Control AWD compared to something like Honda i-VTM4. I don't see much tests on Torque Vectoring AWD system. Atleast from what I see its very basic and may be adequate because Toyota has 4WD vehicles when needed. But most don't understand that AWD is not equal to 4WD and don't really know about viscous coupling, electromagnetic clutches vs mechanical / solid connection, locking diffs, etc.. They will just take the Highlander on scenic places since Toyota say "Lets Go Places". So love to see you test the limits of this.

I have to tell you, man.. This is one of your best videos.

[Seriously]

This is the most perfectly thought out vehicle for the majority of today's buyers.

[ExpeditionaryRanger]

Dude, you have the best reviews now I think.

[rightlanehog]

Ryan, Others may wish to max out on the Hybrid Max but the ordinary, 34 mpg Hybrid is more to my liking. Your video was so thorough I am left with just one question - what was the owner of the silver Pontiac Vibe 16:14 doing out in that field in the middle of nowhere? 🤔😂

[smallgaragehustle]

Can’t believe they made the highlander a lot larger and downsized the engine to a 4 cylinder. We bought the 2022 Highlander because it was the last year with the V6.
