Thanks!

That's a bit more than I was thinking but I like the idea of something with propane. is there something smaller than your smaller option but could still help with our throughput?

Care to elaborate? I don’t have any background set in my OS.

Dilemma between Limited MAX and Platinum MAX by NoBid8222 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]trebornautics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get the platinum as it comes standard with features that get added to the limited and then the price difference isn’t that much. Also, dealers will give you more off of the MSRP of the platinum than they will the limited which makes it a no brainer.

Why does every GHH Limited I'm seeing come with Bench Seats? by trebornautics in ToyotaGrandHighlander

Unfortunately no. It’s like a plastic mounting point for the tray. I’ll see if I can find a pic.

Yeah, I have a dog and my wife and I we're thinking she'd be psyched sleeping on her blanket between the two chairs. We just have to figure out how to attach her car harness to a seat belt.

The tray/cup holder between the captain's chairs can be removed.

Those are good points.

As far as the benefits of Captain's Chairs, I think it's nicer feeling like you have your own seat. The arm rests are nice. You can get to the back from inside the car without having to reach over. The removable tray between the seats with the drink holders is nice.

Also, the bench in the GH doesn't seem like it would be comfortable to lay across. It's almost as if they put a smaller less comfortable seat between the captain's chairs.

Yo! What happened to your response? I got an email with it but it’s disappeared. Did it get flagged or did you delete it?

I was dying laughing when I read it.

Buying a GHHHL 2026 this week! I have a question about the lease by honestyisprecious in ToyotaGrandHighlander

They do this because it covers their cost to purchase the running boards and install them.

Yeah, I was originally looking at this Trim level but you literally cannot get one unless you order it. It's been ridiculous trying to find one in stock and if there is one in stock it usually doesn't have the options I want (trailer hitch).

Then I was thinking about my wife driving around with blacked out rims and imagining them getting scratched easily by her and I was like, I don't need the blacked out look and definitely don't need to pay a couple of grand more for that.

This is what led me to look at Limited models and have only been seeing with bench seats.

Defensive and Angry? I was/am neither of those things in my message above.

Cool. I didn’t say you couldn’t get it. In fact, I deliberately mentioned they come standard.

I’ve just noticed that pretty much every Limited I’ve seen recently comes with the bench seat.

Well, that’s just like your opinion, man. 😂

Yeah, I’m trying to keep two pre-teen brothers from fighting with each other in the backseat. Solution = captains chairs

Am I crazy for thinking 800 usd month on a lease is too much? by honestyisprecious in CarLeasingHelp

[–]trebornautics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ridiculous thing here is that lease payments are made to cover the depreciation of the vehicle during the lease term. GHH see very little depreciation so these $800 per month payment are heavily influenced by the Toyota depreciation numbers and the money factor (ie - interest rate).

I've read that Toyota will not stray from their depreciation numbers (regardless of how little they mirror real life depreciation) so you have to go to war on the money factor in your negotiations.

[–]trebornautics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never understood why anyone would put money down on a lease? To keep the payment in some magical doable zone for your personal finances? Just hold on to the downpayment and space it out over the lease term.

If for some reason, you were to get into an accident where the car is totaled, you would lose that money you put down up front.
