What Owners are Saying About the 2018 Toyota Highlander

"Toyota...Bulletproof, reliable, stylish, ’nuf said"

"Just finished two months of terrible winter weather. Highlander started at 18 below- wind chill 60 below-after almost eleven hours in work parking lot. AWD works flawlessly, added Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires to increase snow and ice performance even more. Would buy again, no question!!!"

"All is Aweome but the Voice Recognition/NAV a ZERO"

"The ride, power and technology is awesome. But like I said in the Summary, I give the the Navigation and the Voice recognition a big fat 0 out of 10. I thought Siri could be bad, this takes bad to another level. NAV never takes the route that my phone gives me, not even close. My brother and I both bought a new Toyota about a week apart and the experience is the same for both of us, so much we joke about it on the phone because he lives 500 miles away. We will be in our SUV and say listen to this. Directions to main st Columbus Ohio, it will come back and say finding a doughnut shop closest to you (just an Example) We have both trained and retrained the system but owell we both have smart phones to rescue us and that isnt why either of us bought our SUV. I would buy it again even with the short comings of some of the techy stuff."

"Toyota Does It Again!"

"I can't think of a single negative thing to say about my Highlander. I originally wanted to buy a Tacoma, but it wouldn't fit into my garage, I am glad it didn't. This vehicle is very comfortable and with a V6 it has plenty of get up and go in the mountains. The ride is very comfortable, fun to drive and very capable of mild off road camping and fishing trips. Other than oil changes, I haven't had to do one thing to it since I bought it two years ago."

2018 Toyota Highlander Depreciation

Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
