    Tundras.com has been nothing short of awesome. Could you all give recommendations for a good highlander forum? We bought a 2019 Highlander Limited today, and I would like to find a forum with as much good information and input as I have found on this forum. For what it's worth, the Highlander is so far ahead of the Tundra as far as amenities, its sad. I suppose the Tundra will catch up, but for now, my wife has the far superior vehicle!

    Please, no crap for the "hub cap" "chrome" wheels" . haha. I'm ordering the 2019 SE black wheels. The thing that pissed me off the most was buying a a Limited Highlander and getting the cheap ass hubcaps. I can't believe Toyota has sunk that low! Seriously, if you spend $40k(ish) on a vehicle, it should have real wheels. Otherwise, it's good. The LED accent lighting inside is unreal. Wish my Tundra had it.

    My wife hated her 2018 Highlander SE. We just traded for a Honda CRV Touring. She likes it much better for some reason. I drove it some and it was neither good or bad. I hate to say it but it was like driving an appliance, hard to get excited over because, even though it had cool tech it did not ignite any passion at all. At least her CRV has a personality lol. My Tundra definitely has a personality! Good luck and if you don't find anything as far as Highlander forums it's because there is no excitement there, at least we didn't feel anything. Have fun with it though!

    We just got a 2019 Limited in Blizzard Pearl as well! I did some searching, but I don't think there will ever be a forum for "soccer mom" vehicles like there are for trucks, off-road SUVs, and performance cars. Toyota Nation has a Highlander subsection, but it's nowhere near as useful as here.

    Mom has a 2014 Highlander. Your best bet is probably still this forum for information.

    My wife drives a 2018 Highlander and loves it. We went with the LE Plus. I think y’all will enjoy it.

    20171012_171023.jpg This is my wife's 2017 Highlander XLE. It has way more stuff than my Limited Tundra. Although she told me yesterday that her blindspot system isn't working now. So I'm hoping it just got turned off somehow. But she loves it.

    were contemplating trading in my wife DURANGO RT for something different but not sure on what just yet. Going to the car show next weekend to see what's all out there. Not sure if we will do it because the Durango is fun to drive with that HEMI !

    My wife loves her 2010 Highlander Limited, and my daughter used to drive a Venza, which was more like a fancy station wagon. The new Highlander seems somewhere in between the old Highlander and the Venza in size and appearance. I have not found a good forum to discuss the Highlander. Enjoy.

    We just got a 2018 Highlander LE Plus AWD last Monday. We’re loving it so far. This thing has way more features than my 17 Tundra. Lol.

    My wife and I just had a kid so we are in the market ourselves...Highlander or Sequoia. She’s leaning towards the former while I like the abundant room of the latter. From the research I’ve come across it seems there isn’t much of a price difference between some of the newer used models. Any thoughts on the Sequoia?

    Used Sequoias with reasonable mileage (under 50k) start at 45,000 around here. New around 70. To much for our public servant saleries. They are few and far between here to drive up cost

    I miss our sienna. we had a 17 xle with premium awd. did great in snow.

    one thing to keep in mind... if you have the AWD you only get 7 seats and NO spare tire. the truck does come with run flats fwiw.

    We just got a 2019 Platinum Hybrid. It’s pretty cool for a DD, but those lame ass Plastic wheels covers suck.
    I’m looking at a set of Lexus Rx450 wheels for it
