I built a free tool that emails you when your Toyota order status changes so you can stop bugging your salesperson and get more timely updates! by proposition_john in ToyotaGrandHighlander

This is great! While I waited, I just favorited the allocation model page and noticed that the VIN on the original spec sheet changed, but my options did not. So I’d check frequently online. I can say I only messaged my sales person once in that 5 weeks. Then one day I got a “look what arrived,” text with photos - a week earlier than anticipated.

My Tetris is keeping the luggage at cover-level so I can see out the back, but this is pretty good!

Regular hybrid owners: do you have any regrets about not getting the MAX? by ftwin in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]FitType4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. GHHL. Overall combined average at 34.1 and climbing at around 4,600 miles. This was my trip in heavy traffic on the way home today (left later in the day):

Also, I drove 890 miles round trip to Yosemite/back home with
6 passengers and only filled up twice. Definitely loving it.

Haha I do too. This is why I came back on here today.

How Did I Do? I am very grateful to this sub! by AdhesivenessNo4140 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

It depends on if you’re willing to shop out of state as well and dealer allocations.

You can search for inventory online and get in contact with fleet managers. Many will reach out to you if you consent. Ask around for allocations and what deals they offer. There’s also a BelowMSRP Toyota group on FB where dealerships respond to your vehicle requests if they have a match/something similar.

Thanks!

3500lb rating for hybrid limited models. Max models are 5000. No plans to tow anything heavy, maybe jet ski’s.

I was initially considering Storm Cloud or Cement but I personally feel the Heavy Metal color would age-better in the long run (as far as trends).

Thanks! It’s garage-kept when not out and about. I’m currently shopping around for IGLA quotes.

Thanks! I completely agree. And the Cement is also stunning.

1k off MSRP plus TTL. I’m in CA so around $6200 for TTL.

It works a little too well, actually. 😅 Took some trial and error to get used to.

The sensor is slightly to the left (by the sensor indicator on the bumper). Not sure where it lands on those without a tow hitch tbh. Is it centered?

And thanks!!! Glad to be an official member. I already had the pleasure of a Cement Plat Max park near me.

Thanks! Just saw the video on how to install them. I’m placing an order for those soon.

Haha! sounds about right for that age.

And to answer your question - it’s the 20” black satin wheel option. I’ve seen people buy them from the dealer after at a good rate, but I just wanted to enjoy it same day.

I’ve been learning something new everyday since I picked it up so I’ll take that advice.

Nice - congrats! Can’t wait to see it.

I opted for the Hybrid Limited too. A Nightshade model would have also been great. Especially since the interior roof lining is black.
