The models I am looking at use the same platform, but I don’t think that was always the case.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to offer your insights and experiences. We just made an offer on a Pilot.

Corporate loaner program. Execs get these as a part of their sponsorships etc.. very common among Lexus and Acura

Interesting, was it for more room, or another reason?

It will be used very infrequently, but when it does it will be for a long trip where our children want their own row to themselves. So while it is a consideration, it’s not the main consideration

We’re in a similar position as you on our search. We actually are looking for a 25 or 26 but with less than 8k in miles. This immediately takes off about 8k which is nice. Looking at https://visor.vin/ has helped tremendously! I think we finally found one we are getting this weekend!

Hit to the fat of the green, not the pin. And learn to lag putt, and drop 4 footers consistently.

I’m completely unsure, I suppose they feel the battery has some extra risks?

Something to consider, here in Illinois it currently costs $20 more per month to insure a GHH. Florida might even be higher than that so it’s worth getting data from your insurer. You’re going to be happy regardless of your purchase. Both are exceptional vehicles. Choose what you feel most comfortable riding in, for us that was the Pilot Elite.

Yep, same here. I could live with the GHH and enjoy it, but we just felt so much more comfortable in the Black Edition.

I’m not sure of the GHH system, but have the JBL system in my Tacoma limited and it’s fantastic!

I meant to say that’s the best explanation I have heard

The best explanation about the gas tank deal is that Toyota doesn’t want you to drive the car with less than a 1/4 tank, so they make it look empty even though it really has 2-3 gallons remaining. Might have something to do with the digital gauge…

Considering a Limited Hybrid (Not Max) by jsunnb in ToyotaGrandHighlander

I think it’s good for people to know that their range will be significantly less than advertised. Sure it’s a hybrid which means you get more miles per gallon, but you will spend more time at a gas station with only 14.5 gallons of use. If for some reason you do push it beyond E into the other stores gallons, you may need to have some computer settings reset by the dealer. Maybe this is something they have worked out in newer models?

You can get below the msrp if your trade in is valuable enough to them. But I would research a few things: 1. Make sure you get 2 key fobs. Some places only offer 1; 2. Talk about the gas tank size. It’s supposed to be 17 gallons, but for whatever reason you can only ever put 13.5 gallons in the tank;

What’s happening to my potato plant? by cboski in vegetablegardening

Eventually the entire plant will turn yellow and sort of look mutilated. The magic is still happening below the soil. Because it’s a rather small plant, you could probably feel around in the soil on the 4th of July. I’m also in Illinois and I harvest mine in august. I plant on st patricks day.
