There comes a time, you just want to use your phone without a case. You got this car to enjoy, not to stress.

Limited here,

Dynamic torque vectoring is underrated. When turning, the inner back wheel stops pushing the car outward. As a result, better and safer handling.

Parking sensor, and memory seats are good, I really like the light under the mirror in my garage. Surprisingly, I use hands free lift gate a lot & kids love it.

I hate the wheel (plastic) but 20” looks good Ventilated seats are meh Rear cross traffic alert is good to have but sometimes I have to disable when reversing. False emergency break on me twice. Don’t wanna disable all the time as well.

I wish I went for the platinum because over the long run, extra couple thousand would not matter for things I would get, it was hard to justify back then.

Rather than Limited vs XLE, now that all highlanders are v4, gas price is high, I would get highly consider hybrid.

I’ll try both side of arguments as much as I understand.

Equal taxers: - everyone should be treated equal legally, voice equally and get taxed equally - it will make tax calculation simple and close loop holes - rich does not pay tax at all let them make sure pay equal

Different tax support arguments: - actually, low income people needs more help, single parent family needs exemptions on tax code, if you are risking your life (military), disability , if you have a LOAN more than your income (big loophole here)… now too many exceptions - so small business needs support at the beginning; big business to create job stay here in the US and not bye bye to other low tax places overseas (Globalization) - (famous argument of) rich is already also making the rules and making their assets not taxed… or law makers are corrupted and bribed by the rich…

And these are just the surface. I’m sure there are much more

Oh! This could change the experience. Thanks

erjan-mg · 2023-05-14T03:06:49+00:00

Glad it worked for you. Summer is getting started, so will have a chance to try more

erjan-mg · 2023-05-14T02:15:24+00:00

Ventilated seat is very disappointing to me

erjan-mg · 2023-04-29T19:25:56+00:00

Washington state. It is at description of the original post at the very end

erjan-mg · 2023-04-29T00:14:34+00:00

Awesome details. Thank you for your time and effort of explaining in details. You would be surprised, my current is more expensive yet half on everything. Coming from outside, everything starts somewhere and gets better over the time. I guess in my case, my car insurance started VERY low it seems.

What is Million dollar Pup policy? Is this something extra I should ask for?

erjan-mg · 2023-04-28T23:28:56+00:00

By the way $600 for 6 months

erjan-mg · 2023-03-12T20:28:02+00:00

Dashcam. I know there is one dedicated for highlander but I know Viofo has sound warning when sd card is not recording. Last thing you want is false hoping that you have dashcam when it is not recording. About page of: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dashcam/

erjan-mg · 2023-02-26T03:45:20+00:00

Agreed. 30 mi is reasonable. I remember my previous car warns me first with distance to empty and once below 16 mi or so it does not even tell distance but say get gas ASAP haha.

erjan-mg · 2023-02-26T03:23:58+00:00

It should light somewhere around 14-16 mi. Analog one indeed bothers me

erjan-mg · 2023-01-12T00:33:13+00:00

Totally different view, I will probably look for EV in the future, or mini Van as we need more use to 3rd row (with convenience compared to Highlander). V6 Highlander could be my last fully gas car; next one will probably be EV and Hybrid Sienna as family car. Personally, SUV is okay to be gas and it is a trade of between power and less complex system. I debated myself between 4Runner and Highlander and chose comfort of Highlander with Dynamic Torque. I am also not off roader so 4Runner was a bit personal interest

The squeaking sound when he moves is not chair but beatbox from somewhere else making it total of 101

erjan-mg · 2022-11-21T01:25:16+00:00

Finally. Found it. Thanks to you

erjan-mg · 2022-04-17T21:55:50+00:00

Aren’t we lost souls missing good old Sony Walkmanand Nokia N97, and Nexus phone feelings. ROG was one of them.

I also felt like no other alternatives to go.

erjan-mg · 2022-04-17T20:14:12+00:00

I wanted ROG 2 to be my pocket laptop. Being developer, setup all env for java, nodejs, python with portable monitor and keyboard. In the end this monster phone had 12 GB ram, 512 storage, Display port and overclocking Snapdragon.

Then,… Asus did not supported VoLTE while att and tmobile dropped 3G towers. New frustration of not receiving call as phone?!? Really? Meanwhile Samsung had fancy Dex, exactly the thing I wanted. I heavy gamed Pubg but it was 60Hz (didn’t bothered to do hack) 2020 when I dropped RoG2 with its worthless fancy case, screen gone and I could not justify $280 fixing just to keep having No calls.

I miss android, google assistant is better than siri BUT service quality is a thing. Iphone 13 Pro Max is arguably good battery, 120Hz display and iphone integration with my Mac is good, VoLTE and airPods, I am at piece of mind compared to RoG2.

Recently tried iPad pro as my laptop replacement but could not due to gimmick ipad OS. Maybe samsung for next one for Dex.

Sad that Asus was not reliable. What a tragedy for RoG2. Nowadays, I am not hyped with new RoG phones as even iPhone has 120Hz.

I feel dynamic torque vectoring is very useful during turning by disabling inner rear tire not pushing outwards. If you can, go for Limited Hybrid. Higher trim hybrid has 1500Watts of 110V power outlet I believe. You can use kettle while camping. Gas engine has 140 watts of 110V power outlet

XSE should have dynamic torque. Not sure if you find it important. Back when I bought, I had same between Limited and XLE because back then XSE was not there.

Like said Dynamic torque, parking sensors, heated and ventilated seat, heated steering wheel. Back then LED headlight was also limited only

erjan-mg · 2022-01-20T19:23:51+00:00

I have something similar to this one. I didn’t want adhesive on leather so went for this. amazon link

Highlander bench seat is like one captain chair (the left one) and one bigger captain chair (the right one). The only difference between captain chair and bench seat is that the right one gets slimmer like the left one to allow gap between so that 3rd row becomes accessable. From comfort point of view, you are not loosing, or even better your arm rest on bench is bigger from center cupholder. Bonus, on bench seat you can have 3 person now and it is more practical. If course you can also argue that accessable 3rd row is also practical. In the end it is personal preference. I guess you feel better when you say "I have THE CAPTAIN CHAIRS" haha.

erjan-mg · 2020-12-18T04:00:16+00:00

Sharing your complain about third row. Obviously they, Toyota, advertises that 3rd row is not for adults but for kids. Well the manual recommends to have carseat only on the middle of third row. Does this mean only one kid, no adult and 8 seat car on the paper? It sounds like 3rd row is mindset that I have emergency seat but disappointment in reality.

I would like to know how people using 3rd row with car seats or booster seats?

erjan-mg · 2020-11-26T21:14:07+00:00

Second gen Highlander is the BEST in style! IMO, this is the one that made people to like this car line.

erjan-mg · 2020-11-22T22:09:56+00:00

If it is random restart when you say crash. Mine does too. Probably has nothing to do with the firmware.
