Hi, I live in NYC and just bought my HL limited (bluestone metallic) and owned it for 24 hours. My husband and I (and my 4 year old) absolutely love it...the roomy interior, comfortable and smooth ride. We used to have Toyota Camry LE V6 before a 90 year old man did a U-turn in the middle of a highway and totalled our car. We are lucky to be alive to share our joy of owning HL and sorrow of losing Camry. In any case, just wanted make sure that 2005 tax deduction still applies for this year's model. Look forward to your response.

Just bought my 2002 Highlander. Love it!! I have owned 97, 98 4-runner and 95 Camry. Bought my 97 4-runner brand new and love it at the time. Bought my 98 4 runner last December and had forgotten how rough the ride was. Wanted something smoother. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. Now, I am looking at accessories. Having trouble finding original tow hitch - Mine came without one. I have looked everywhere locally (Fresno, CA) and throughout the internet. I purchased a tubular hidden hitch today and should get in a couple days. The hitch looks bulky but it was the best I have seen. I really wanted the original part because I think it looks cleaner and unassuming. Is there another area in your forum I can find an original hitch for my 2002 or find someone who is willing to sell me theirs.
 
Love this site. Thanks for the help.

A belated welcome (since no one else has come forward to welcome you ) -- don't have answers to your questions; you'll find there are more posts with questions than those with answers on these boards, but I encourage you to stick around and become regulars in the "Highlander family", and with time possibly fill-in those answer gaps with your own experiences!

Hi!
I just selected and made a deal for my new Salsa Red Highlander Limited this afternoon! I got the Nav system (which is extremely important to me), leather, etc. I have to get the title to my 2001 Subaru Outback that I'm trading in from the bank safe deposit box Monday and I'll take delivery Tuesday morning.
 
I am getting the car form Greenwich Toyota in Cos Cob, CT and they were very nice to deal with. I previously had terrible dealer experiences buying both a new VW in the mid 80's and a new Honda in the late 90's. I was very happy with the Greenwich dealership so far at least.
 
I'm really looking forward to driving my new Highlander!

From the perspective of the first 9000km on my 2005 Kluger (Highlander to you) after owning a Subaru Outback for six years, I'd say it will be an acquired taste. The Toyota is nowehere as exciting to drive (suabrus are really sportscars with suburnban housewife looks on a four wheel drive chassis). That siad, the engine is delightful and the whle ownership experience is nice.
 
Welcome aboard
 
Cheers

I own a "04" HL V6 4WD. This is the best SUV I have ever driven. I brought it a year ago and my wife took it from me. I got her a new car last week so I could have the HL but now we fight over who gets the HL.

I'm up to 21,000 miles on my 2004 FWD V6 Highlander. I'm quite satisfied with it, especially with the driving comfort on long trips. I've been getting 25 mpg on the highway, as printed on the sticker, but have found I can increase to 27 if I use my cruise control as much as possible.
 
Sometime in the last 3,000 miles the tires started getting noisy, but no vibration. I assume it's from uneven wear, but I'm wondering why I'd get uneven wear at 21,000 miles. I have gone up over a couple of curbs, which leads me to wonder if it's an alignment problem. Anybody else have the same problem?

My 2003 V6 Highlander had a similar problem with the original Goodyear tires. They did wear out unevenly and were terrible in water. Last year, I replaced them at 15,000 miles with Yokohama. The new tires are much better. My Highlander now has about 36,000 miles (rotated them 3 times since the replacement). They seem to wear evenly. I have not done alignments since bought the vehicle.
