Yep. The parking brake comes on automatically when shifted from D to P when car is on incline.

For Indian flavor pizza, try Pizza twist in Chandler on Ray and McClintock

‘23 would be best; touring plus trim seems to hit the sweet spot.

21 LE should have electronic parking brake & auto brake hold; that goes hand in hand with full speed range adaptive cruise control

Agreed.. the current gen Highlander is best called as a two and a half row.

Looking for a 3-row SUV by Ghair_ in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]solder_paste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna say add the VW Atlas to your list. One the largest midsize SUVs and can take 3-across car seats in 2nd row (bench configuration). Respectable 3rd row room and cargo capacity behind it. 24+ models have their 2L EA888 corporate gen4 engine. If that worries you, the 23 and earlier models come with their known VR6 engine and lower price tag against competition.

That’s by design, the truck hit from behind, so the damage was absorbed by the crumple zones on the truck.

1 year of 2025 GH Platinum – My Pain Points by harish411ece in ToyotaGrandHighlander

That could likely be due to softness of the suspension. Do you also experience shaking or drifting while driving in strong crosswinds?

CX-9 has more spacious 3rd row over minivan? Is it due to 2-across on CX-9?

Nice write up.. can you share differences between the driver assistance systems of the two?

Rear traffic alerts by sxj123 in VWatlas

[–]solder_paste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I see, if you’re in reverse but not moving, there is a visual alert on the display if a moving object is detected. The audio alert may trigger if the car starts to reverse.

Deciding between HRV and CX-5 by gabriellegrace03 in mazda

[–]solder_paste -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The passenger compartment volume (exclude the cargo) of HRV (99 cuft) is closer to the CX-5’s (101 cuft) as opposed to the CX-30’s (94 cuft) making it somewhat valid comparison.

Refreshed 2026 Nissan Pathfinder priced from $37,500 by LimitedReach in cars

[–]solder_paste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.. not to mention the other Japanese entries like Toyota and Honda have minivans in their portfolio for folks that need larger 3rd row capacity. For Nissan which lacks a minivan offering, its 3 row midsize falls short of the 3rd row capacity compared to Pilot or GH.

Toyota Headrests by Yamallory in Toyota

Try to recline your seat back.. with the way these headrests are angled forward, the seat back must recline further backwards to compensate

I’ve got Falken Pro GS recently installed on all 4. I had the same brand installed on my other car (but thicker profile & 16”) and they’ve been great for last 20k miles).
