A couple weeks ago, my family and I made our way up north for Thanksgiving. Since I was going to be the one behind the wheel, I needed a sturdy and dependable vehicle to make the road travel an easy one.
Presenting the 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited.
Honestly, the road travel wasn't easy because, hello!, Thanksgiving travel. Everybody and their mama were on the road Wednesday afternoon. Heading to Edgewater, NJ (15 minutes from Harlem, NY) was 4.5 hours. Heading back to the DC area took 5 hours because of the torrential downpour. DURING THE WHOLE FIVE HOURS. The only stop was to fill up the gas tank. Speaking of which, you get your money worth with gas. With a full tank, it barely reached half by the time we got to NJ.
There are some nice features in this car including a very thoughtful message that popped up on my dashboard while on the journey home. The message read: 'Need a break' with an image of a steaming, hot brewed coffee. Totally wished I took a photo. It made me smile. But I didn't stop because my mission was to power through Mother Nature's waterfall tears and get us home safely.
Other features include:
- Stop and Start Engine System (this explains the fuel savings!)
- 60/40 third row seating (The only knock on this feature is the row seating is low. Like super low. I can't imagine full grown adults being comfortable in those seats.)
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Bird's Eye View Camera
- Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Entune Multimedia Bundle. This is equipped with Sirius XM. Definitely abused the throwback hip-hop and pop music channels.
- Available 5000 pounds towing capacity
Starting price for the 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited is roughly $42,280. The color of this car is Alumina Jade Metallic.
