[Toni7859]

I can tell the age of his vehicles by just the sound of the introduction.... the older ones are faster.

[Toni7859]

@Toni7859 - I meant age of the videos. lol.

[00Rikar]

[robbie5448]

@Annihilator1111 MORE FUCKING FACTS? Excuse my languidge

[karoleeable]

[S0vattanak]

can you tell me how much it is?



[S0vattanak]

is it V4 or V6 ?

[dj921005]

@S0vattanak 4 cylinder.

[donovan9288djn]

the pilots are much better

[HPkills]

@donovan9288djn the leather in the new highlander is better than the pilots though cause i got to see a pilot and my mom has a 2009 highlander sport it is just so comfortable.

[Sharafisti]

Nice video man!:) Somebody tell me please who is singing and what the song name on 4:41 ????

[TheDylanJoyce]

Another Train huh! the trains must really like you!

[benchod94]

does it seem underpowered with the 4?

[Annihilator1111]

the 2000-2007 Toyota Highlander was assembled in

Kyūshū, Japan

[Adamv45]

@toyota4life94 That is not what I had stated. The gauge towards the end of the video is registering 3/4 which is too hot for any car to run!

[Motorfordtoyota]

Hey, Kyle, have you ever had anyone come up to you while you were making a lot video and ask to see the vehicle you are videoing?

[filipinofighter1]

I bet that car drink alot of oil..

[ESKprodutions]

could you do a vid on a 2001 Hyundai sonata , great vid by the way , and do you have a license jw lol

[dilson0070]

Man i love your's videos! Greats from Brazil"!!

[saxman112]

Nice! I have a Highlander too, and it's a 2005. The only differences are that the one I have has a V6 engine, and an automatic-adjusting driver seat. I love driving it!

[Anc1952]

I have an 03 highlander and love it. I'm gonna make a video when it turns over to 100k and that will be VERY VERY soon. Still runs like new.

[Jsoto1115]

@JSoto96 yo, didnt even notice the first time. look at our usernames

[Jsoto1115]

@JSoto96 probly not mine is and its completely different interior although mine is 2004

[thehenster99]

[carcrazymara]

you only had one 4runner video you can try to find the 2010

[netejohn]

hey man, what is the name of the song that plays to 4:53 ?

[MrRichierich1990]

how much? thats pretty cool.

[keishmari]

i whant to get one

[bandsofblue]

I just bought a 2003 Highlander and I get to pick it up next week when I go home. Great video! I hope this is what my highlander will be like

[MercedesC300161]

Toyota's cars are always nice.

[ericdaniels1211]

i hate that chirp

[NissanDriver15]

Huh. My friend has one of these, but his has the V6, and I thought they ONLY came with a V6. I was surprised to see that tiny little 4-cylinder in the engine bay.

[saxman112]

@NissanDriver15 In 2001-2003, you had the option of the 2.4 L 4-cylinder, or the 3.3 L V6. Then, from 2004 to now, the V6 is standard.

[thirddays]

can you a drive vid on any jeeps that you might have?

[darlamcm2]

another great ride buddy!

[Goldenrod636]

I always like the Toyota SUVs because they feel and look so nice.

[cool3be]

i love toyota's. they are great on gas and very reliable. i used to have a 1992 corolla for 4 years and i only had one issue and it was the starter selenoid. it also had 320,000 miles.

[tuan1is1azn]

I think my dad's thundra and mom's sienna were bought around this time, because they a very similar stero. Speaking of which i'll probably get a new highlander next year and i'll complete the toyota family lol.

[zanjani13]

awesome job man!!!

[crystalscan2002]

looks nice

[markkjay]

I was in my friend's Highlander every day for school last year, a black '04 with the same four-cylinder. Quiet car with a pretty good ride, but the engine was annoyingly buzzy and the exhaust didn't help much, which kinda ruined it. I'm interested to see if the V6 is any different in terms of noise, though.

[saxman112]

@markkjay I have an '05 Highlander, which of course has the V6, and it rides pretty good. Even on the freeway going at least 65 MPH, the noise isn't anything unbearable.

[thecarexpert18]

since my uncle has the hybrid limited trim iv'e always wondered what the non-hybrid sounded like. so thanks!

[Adamv45]

That Temperature Gauge Scared Me. Something is wrong with it if you had to add coolant.

[saabkyle04]

@Adamv45 yeah it had low coolant, that was the problem LOL there's no leak or anything, it's good I found it though on the drive, that's the goal like I said, is to make them perfect before we sell them

[eye8owne8u]

@saabkyle04 the temp gauge should never get that high, low coolant or not. those 2.4s are NOTORIOUS for blown head gaskets, Google "toyota 2.4 blown" if you dont believe me. I own a highlander just like that, same year too, Ive got 110,000 miles on it, and I'm waiting for the day my head gasket goes. The actual problem is the cylinder head stud threads if you take it to the dealer, they replace the engine. There are thread inserts to fix it, which is what i'll prob do. This car has that problem.

[DeMitch]

@eye8owne8u do you know if all highlanders are 2.4s or is there a later model year when the head gasket was not a problem? Also, do you know if the same problem exist for 4runners? I am planning to buy a cuv/suv in the next couple of months. Think i'm getting the highlander, 4runner, or chevy tahoe. still trying to decide. any info is appreciated.

[eye8owne8u]

@DeMitch it appears as if the head gasket issue is with the 2az-fe (2.4 four cylinder) for around 2001 to 2004 & early 2005, and also with any other car that had that motor in it at the time, like the Camry or Rav 4, the Highlander did have the v6, 3.0 or 3.3 depending on the year, the 3.3 was later on. I own a 2.4, but I'd rather have the v6. It's been great so far, minus 2 water pumps within 25,000 miles, also a known issue, but I'm just waiting for my head issue. Not if, but when...

[Motorfordtoyota]

@Adamv45 evaporation is the likely problem. I can bet you before that, none was ever added.

[Capt421]

Very nice video. What size is your tripod?

[TravisField1284]

Hey Kyle, can you demonstrate the cruise control on the vehicles you test drive? Love your videos!

[datboiwes3]

I hate how Toyota doesn't use column shifters. I saw inside a 2010 Sienna today and it had that same shifter on the bottom of the dash thingy.

[MrRichierich1990]

id trade my pos impala for this car anytime. lol

[carguy379]

can you do a vid on that explorer sport

[saabkyle04]

@carguy379 I'll have it up either this weekend or next week!

[carguy379]

@saabkyle04 cool thanks

[imking7]

i know every square in. of this car cause i drove this car so much i put around 150,000 mi. on it i went to pa. to nyc. twice a weak so ofcoarse that will hapen it was my baby but then i sold it for 10k some drug dealer bought it cause its my baby so itll be clen and look brand new. so my point is tht this is a BUATIFUL car and it survies with over 100k mi

[clff888]

good evening kyle' that is a very nice highlander' great acceleration pass! that was an awesome test drive video' take care man!!

[DanDFriend]

i LIKE it ALOT

[Cr4zYH3aD]

I love the acceleration pass. That way we can see what it's got under the hood !

[pjtart]

I like Toyota Highlander's, this one is in mint condition considering is mileage. I'm surprised that this vehicle power deliver is great for a 4 cylinder. Great test drive video.

[coolsun888]

that motor is so tiny! v6 FTW

[dave11686]

Great video as always! A friend has a Highlander and she likes it.

[MeInTheNewWorld]

As much as people say that highlanders are boring they just have the nicest blend of comfort, convinience and utility.

[bigcrowfly]

It looks like it has a driver's floor mat from another vehicle (predrilled hole not fitting in the floor post, it looks too small and is sliding all over the place.) I guess a mat from a car with over 125,000 miles probbably has a heel hole and a seller would want to remove it, but I bet the dealer's lawer probably says don't put in a subsititute from another car.

[wiz2111]

I've always found that Hondas and Toyotas sound very...boring from the inside.

[1bentley4ever]

Nice crossover. The new Highlanders are really nice.

[k3vanoo]

wow there called Kluger's here in Aust

[TJC450]

Hope it didn't have sticky gas pedals!

I'm just pulling your leg kyle!

Nice video

I don't even think this model year is under recall.
