Greg Macke - Your Car Angel goes through the problems to look out for when buying a used Toyota Highlander. Each generation is reviewed with the problem areas with engines highlighted. The 2.4 2AZFE engine specifically with stripped head bolts is looked into. The spark plug replacement maintenance in the 3.3 engine is also reviewed.
Other competing models such as the Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, Dodge Durango and VW Atlas, all which are inferior to the quality Highlander. The Honda Pilot and Subaru Outback are better and the only cars I would say compare to the Highlander. The complete Toyota Timing belt and timing chain list is given for all years of the highlander.
The Highlander Hybrid debuted in 2006 with third row seating as optional. There was a recall for the Inverter on the Hybrid.
The First Generation ran between 2001-2007. The second generation ran between 2008-2013 and the third generation ran from 2014-2019 with the current 2020 fourth generation model being the latest.
