5 Things I HATE - My 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander XLE

In this video I go over 5 things I hate about my 2024 Toyota grand Highlander. This car is highly refined and built by the most reliable manufacturer in the world, so yes, I am nitpicking, but thought I’d share my thoughts in this video.

First possible RECALL on the 2024 GH leaves me STRANDED with my newborn

We bought the hybrid MAX in June and definitely do not regret our decision to spend the extra money.

I really like the energy that you have in your videos! You’re unlike anybody else on the platform, not to mention that I’m interested in the Grand Highlander and you’re one of (if not the only) people that I’ve found on YouTube who has it to keep. Really look forward to seeing what else you have planned with this car and your future projects. Keep up the good work! ❤

I got the xle also. all of the higher trims available were only 7 seaters and i need 8 seats. I wish the grand hL had a removable middle seat in the second row like the honda pilot

We bought the 24 Grand Highlander Platinum with no hybrid, we love it a lot!!!

[barcojohn]

Absolutely love my Highlander but the things I would change would be the navigation screen to be voice activated for dimming instead of trying to find a place to pull over to change it
the cup holders don't work well together no handles on your cup
the drive selection switches on the center console underneath your hand keeps getting hit and switch to different driving modes
the hood flexes when driving down the road as the wind is buffering off it
could use a 12 Volt plug in in the back
The auto start using a remote would be nice if the parking lights would come on to show that it's on .so hard to hear it and you can't tell it's running or not

What I do like is How much space there is inside
The advanced control that the Cruise control has
How quiet it is driving inside
how well it drives in the snow

The backup camera also has a wash that works really good
The seat adjustments really could use two settings for people getting in it one for tall one for short and then the operator can adjust it from there

I would also hate the $8 dollars per month for a service that was bought with the car. Extremely stupid!

[simplisticx]

Yes, I love my grand highlanders but when I do remote start it always has an error pop up that it couldn't connect and I've only had it for 2 months so I'm still in the window where I don't need to pay for the subscription yet. Otherwise, love it!!

Appreciate your experience with the XL (hybrid) that I am considering. I noticed that black is the only current interior colour and I agree with your views overall. As a gift for sharing your comments, check out Diode Dynamics yellow fog lights (I.e. SS3), super strong but within legal limits and there you have it, superior to what any mfr. would offer as a standard package.

[canoak]

Absolutely agree...the beige interiror or non-black, is really cool luxury feel....sad they dont provide it at XLE model.

[mathdaddy]

Just bought the Grand Highlander Hybrid. It has the sports option. Feels powerful to me.

[MRCx]

How tf do you have that digital display on the XLE trim? It’s supposed to be regular dialed speedometer

[pm]

Anything better in GH will interfere with sale of Lexus. Toyota is smart about it.

[JAYS-hb]

i prefer that to full screen cluster because even if you lose the screen you'll still be able to drive with fuel and temp indicators.

[christopherwarsh]

It’s definitely a reason to just get a hybrid- I’ve had it on my RAV4 and I can’t imagine getting a vehicle without it.

[russellleboeuf]

I just ordered this in the Platinum trim, should be about 2 weeks out.

[mstrmnd]

It looks like a RAV4 on the road when you are following behind it. It doesn't stand out unique/distinctly on the road.

[cogolfer]

Everything you “hate” about your XLE is available on the Limited trim. Even you said, “Spend the extra money….”

[fluxcapacitor]

hi i also have the xle gh..does yours beep when backing up to close objects?

[suezaple]

Yes the cluster is rather plain Jane, and to have to pay for drive connect after a year Naw no thanks, you pay enough for the vehicle. Fog lights are included in most other vehicles. so yes should be included due the what you pay for this vehicle . Enjoyed the video and items you pointed out that could have been better for the cost.
