Late-Model Used Toyota Highlanders At Wholesale Prices
We happen to think of the Highlander very favorably as a used SUV. It was introduced in 2001 as one of the first mid-size SUV crossovers, so it's always been on the leading edge.
With it's carlike unibody design, the Highlander provides better handling, a quieter drive and improved crashworthiness over Toyota's earlier SUV models. It's actually a bit like a large Camry, but with a more elegant interior and additional cargo-carrying abilities.
Even base models come with a nice list of standard equipment, including air conditioning, power accessories, a CD player and cruise control. And on 2004 and newer models, stability control and a tire-pressure warning system were also added as standard features.
 For additional amenities, the Sport trim comes with a sport-tuned suspension, fog lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, as well as a power driver seat.
The top-of-the-line Limited trim adds on dual power front seats, heated mirrors, a fold-flat third row (in 2004 and up models), and an upgraded JBL sound system.
Used models can also be found with options such as navigation (on the Limited), leather interiors, an in-dash CD changer and a towing package.
Fuel economy is another big plus of the Highlander, being above average for a midsize SUV. The 2WD four-cylinder gets 22 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, while an all-wheel-drive V6 gets 18and 24. These are quite respectable numbers for an SUV of this size.
And of course, it comes with the Toyota reputation for quality. We also find resale values tend to be quite strong.
All in all, a used Highlander is worth a look for those who need space, but also value a carlike driving performance and decent gas mileage.
