I’m so torn between the two. I’m ready for a new vehicle. My ‘08 4Runner has over 350,000 miles. I want something reliable and roomy. Any recommendations? (Pic for attention and colors I’m considering)
Would love any perspectives on what makes the most sense. We may end up having 4 kids, undecided (honestly the third is kicking our butts but our fault for the 2 year age gap with these 3, but that’s a different story). Want this as a 10 year car. Our other car is a minivan so we’re set on that front and love it, but considering another option for second car with enough room for everyone but would probably do big roadtrips in van. Thanks all!
With the help of this sub, I was able to negotiate this deal for me. 2026 GHH Hybrid Limited - Midnight Black.
Shout-out to this sub. Cannot wait for the day the car will arrive. Hope nothing goes wrong in between. Thank you so much everyone for all the valuable tips!!!
Front passenger seatbelt often locks up when trying to pull it out to buckle seat belt. Seems to mainly happen after I as driver turn car on and begin to drive off while front passenger still has to put seatbelt on. usually by the time im driving out the driveway, passenger tells me seatbelt locked. They pull multiple times, i even turn the car off and nothing. Its not until probably having pulled like 10-20 times that seatbelt finally frees up.
Took to dealer but they advise they couldn't duplicate issue. Any thoughts on the reasoning or anyone else have this issue?
Hey guys,
Long time viewer, but wanted to share my experience so far looking to buy a Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid. The wife and I decided on Black interior and exterior, wanted to get Black rims as well. Reason we went with the Limited Hybrid is because the Nightshade trim doesn't have an option to get a bench seat and we have a large family. After dealing with at least 7 different dealships I ended up with this pricing. Before adding the black rims we ended up at $55,90, but we wanted to treat ourselves. What do you guys think? Do we think we got the best we can get based on the trim we're looking for?
Just to give you guys an idea of what comes with the limited we might get:
Model/Trim: Toyota Grand Highlander Limited
Powertrain: Standard Hybrid (Non-MAX)
Exterior Color: Midnight Black Metallic
Interior Color: Dark/Black Leather
Seating Configuration: 8-Passenger Bench Seat
Factory Options: Panoramic Moonroof and Panoramic View Monitor (360-degree cameras)
Anyone getting better than MSRP in/around Philly area? Ready to buy, but can't get anyone to budge.
Anyone able or willing to share their experiences? Two teens and two under 10. Is it big enough? How’s the storage? Would want captain chairs. Trying to talk my wife out of getting a Yukon.. I’ve read up on dimensions and space, but that doesn’t tell the full story.
Thank you!
No not the good kind of getting flashed....
Every time I drive this car at night I get people flashing their high beams at me and sometimes honking. It seems to really piss people off. I always show them what the high beams ACTUALLY look like when they do so they can see I'm not driving with them on. Had a ram 1500 with LED'S before the GH. I thought those were bright but these are like staring into 10 suns lol.
After some back and forth, I got the dealer to agree to 59,250 for a Hybrid Max Platinum. Price includes everything except taxes, tag, title, and similar fees. So in a round-about way, dealer is essentially asking for MSRP for the vehicle.
Is this a good price or should I aim for better?
As a side note. The dealer won't remove the factory adds. I was able to find a similar vehicle at other dealers willing to remove the factory adds, but their price was still in the 60s.
Hi All,
How much would an extended 10/125 miles cost in Sacramento, California... two Toyota Dealer quoted me $3,200. What would be a good price to pay for the extended warranty and oil change for long term?
As the title states, I’m looking for your experiences with this car overall. Doesn’t necessarily need to be the Platinum MAX unless you’re specially talking about the drivetrain and engine, and possibly cabin noise.
I’ve seen more and more complaints about the quality of the 26 models, and if I’m going to be spending 60k+ on a car, I’d expect it not to be obviously bad quality. Some of the complaints I’ve noticed:
Cheap materials in the inside.
Poor quality control.
Engine noise.
Rattling hoods.
Shaking and vibration of the vehicle when driving above 60mph.
I am coming from a ‘21 Jeep Wrangler and honestly have no gripes with it outside of few specific issues. Overall, I feel like my Wrangler is built well and the interior doesn’t feel cheap. I’m used to a loud cabin since I’ve been driving wranglers for the last 10+ years, but I was really hoping for a quieter cabin with this car.
I’m sure this group is pretty biased, but give me your feedback. Thanks in advance!
Adam's ceramic, took nearly the whole bottle and about 7-8 hours total, including all glass and plastic. Only 250 miles on the vehicle so far, so no touch ups required. I wanted a ceramic coat to hopefully keep it cleaner longer since it's white. Pretty happy with the turnout although I just finished so it hasn't seen rain yet.

Too good to pass up? Basically selling below invoice, right?
Love the array of tactile buttons, but for media related controls, how is there no Play/Pause button? I find myself wishing for one all the time there.
Obviously not a major issue, and I really enjoy everything else about the car, but it still kind of annoys me!
I did try looking and couldn't find my answer, I'm sorry if I missed it in case this has been covered. On our Max Platinum we have set up the profiles with my wife and I and selected the option of tying them to the keys and also with the facial recognition. But the seat settings do not automatically change like it says it should in the owners manual. We have to hit the #1 or #2 setting on the door to get them to change. Is there something that I've missed on tying the seat settings to the profile so it moves the seat and mirrors when loading the other profile settings?
Currently driving a 2023 kia tellruride, fully loaded, top of the line trim.
Been reading more and more about the oil consumption issue on the kia telluride which is making me really question the long term reliability. Currently car only has 36k miles on it, but kind of want something that can reliably give more than 100-150k miles without worrying about it.
Thinking of switching over to a 2025 grand highlander Gas XLE trim with 24k miles. This would cost an extra $7600 - hopefully give me better reliability and better mpg. But otherwise id lose a lot of tech features and comfort features - napa leather seats, HUD, AWD, premium sound system and a few other premium features.
Thoughts from those who own a grand highlander? Are you guys happy with the purchase? Would a less loaded and less premium feeling vehicle be worth the extra $$$ in your mind?
