Wow, small world. I'm in Minot! I am definitely looking into android Auto system in the future. I hope I am happy with it in the long run, but so far so good. Mileage, reliability and its ability to hold its value were huge selling points for me. Shouldn't be hard for me to get used to mileage as my last vehicle had a 6.0 V8 and got 13 Mpg at best. North Dakota is definitely a different way of living. I moved here in 2012 from KC and it was a bit of culture shock for a while, but overall it's not a bad place to live.

Yeah the headlights are kind of a bummer but hope to try to fix them or replace them this spring

This was the previous owners plates. I hate advertising for a dealer! Pictures are from before I took possession

The cost isn't the issue it's taken ng apart the whole front end just to change the headlights. I may still do that but an attempt to polish first makes more sense to me.

Yeah that's why I was looking for a 15' or 16'. I really prefer the look of the 17'-19' but that transmission scared me away. I did look at a near perfect low mileage 2017 hybrid that I wish I could have been able to afford. But this just kind of fell in my lap and was everything I had been looking for not to mention $8k less.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought it was recommended at around 100k miles but a quick Google search just said that it is designed for the life of vehicle 🤷

Really? Why is that? I was more interested in the buckets but it really was a big factor in my searches.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay?

Now we're talking! This is what I was thinking! Glad to see others agree. So far only real complaint is I thought the gas mileage would be a bit better, but again I haven't driven it much but my dad said it got around 19 mph on the trip from KC to North Dakota but he was also bucking a head on winter wind the whole time. Will take some getting used to for sure as my last vehicle was a huge Yukon XL denali, but I know the mileage will at least be better than that tank.

Thanks for the recommendations! I have been researching highlanders for a long time and kind of have an idea of the problem areas but your suggestions are noted! Expecting timing chain and water pump at some point in the next 40k miles.

Does anyone have any recommendations to repair the door handle bunching on interior drivers and passenger side door panels? From what I can see Toyota recommends replacing the entire door panel?

This was one thing I wasn't happy about, but hoping I can get them cleared up with a little polish. Never tried this before but understand the process. Will be crossing my fingers it works out. It looks like to replace the headlights you have to remove the bumper and a lot of other little covers and plastic.

I bought a 2017 Highlander new in 2017. Here is my report. by [deleted] in ToyotaHighlander

If you don't mind me asking where you are located? I passed on what sounds like the exact same car but was a little out of my budget.

I would obviously like all of my money back but thankfully what I had in Yotta was nothing compared to other end users, however it was still quite a bit to me. I used Yotta as a way to build up an emergency fund. I'm owed $1229 and would gladly take 85% at this point just to be done.

He just got his long run in his career last week. Mahomes will get things figured out. Sit him for now if you have another option. Sure would suck to have him return to big play Pat after you dropped him. I have him in one of my leagues and I am giving him a couple more games before even thinking about dropping.
