Amen! Such a great comment! Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!

Thank you for watching and the comment. Greatly appreciated!

Thank you for watching! More to come for sure! I know beaver Toyota had about 5 on the lot! Just talk to Pheaon! Watch out for car salesman who are trying to get people to pay the ridiculous addendum! You should be able to get a better deal than me with the car slow down!

Absolutely! Glad I could help!

Thank you for watching! I appreciate the comment. More to come.

Thank you for watching! I appreciate your comment!

Thank you for watching! We loved our 2018 highlander as well!

Glad it was helpful!

@@SoarAndMore Definitely helpful, I've ordered mine today. Having another real family review it like yours is super. And congrats on the new addition to the family!

@@burfine thank you so much and thank you for watching! My wife loves it and it’s been way way more roomy than the 2018 Highlander. I hope you enjoy it. I’m going to keep documenting to see if we run into an issues or recalls so people can be in the loop!

Possibly…

There is definitely extra room. Absolutely 100% sure on that. Just know that you will be giving up gas mileage. Which is normal for a car that’s bigger and it’s only right now with the only version is a four-cylinder turbo.. thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment.

Thank you for watching!

Beaver Toyota at St. Augustine Florida. Speak with Pheaon. He is the one who got me the deal. Just stay firm on what you want.

Thank you for watching. No heads up display, I don’t have the hybrid so can’t answer that, no hood shake issue at all.

I explained it in the video. It’s a negotiation process.

Thanks for watching!

Yes, it’s absolutely possible. That’s what happened for me. You just have to make sure you know what the real prices are for the vehicles and do some research. Thank you for watching.

Here is the bank: www.cdcfcu.com. Thank you for the comment! We bought our 2018 Highlander from clear water Toyota. Maybe try there?

Thank you for the information.

Thank you so much for the comment. I’m actually gonna shoot a video going on the hunt for hybrids to see exactly what the market is for them. I’m also going to do some research and find out what the productions are going to be. That way people don’t have to feel pressured to buying what they see right then and there and also pay a high markup. Because pretty much the hybrid max is going to be the standard engine for Toyota moving forward. So they’re going to build so many of them that you don’t need to pay the high markup. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the input! North Florida is slow then!

Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!

Tacomas and tundras have gone to absolute crap. Tundra engines are failing left and right. It’s disgusting. That’s why tundras are piling up. Nobody is willing to buy them.

Suburban is way bigger footprint on the road, for us the Grand highlander is perfect. Only issues are it’s a newer engine that has to build a reputation. It’s a Toyota (I’m sure it will be fine) it is a turbo and that may affect performance in hotter environments. Thank you for watching and I appreciate the compliment.

Super smart!!! Ya we lost a lot quickly!

Awesome! My wife loves it. The MPG has been disappointing though. Only 20.2 with 1500 miles and we have the 2.4 turbo 4cylnder non hybrid. It advertises 21-28. Haven’t seen that at all…

We miss the hatch, it was great for packing the car to the gills! Thank you for watching and the comments!

Such a great question. I will get back to you! There is a subscription for it. I’m not sure on how long it’s free and if it’s monthly or yearly. Thank you for watching!

@@SoarAndMore thank you for responding

@@chippooutdoors5325 absolutely- thank you for watching. I’ll find out for you

So i found this: www.toyota.com/connected-services/connected-services-plans/. Looks like my "free subscription" ends in a year from purchase so i will have to choose one of these plans. Looks like the cheapest is $15 a month to most expensive $25 a month plus another $25 a month for ATT hotspot internet in the car. That kinda stinks...

That’s sad it’s free for 1 year only. My Hyundai Tucson has it free for 3 years. Toyota should do better for this price

Actually it does what I said, what you said, and one more thing - “Sport mode changes control parameters in transmission lockup and shifting, throttle response and Electronic Power Steering assist.” - support.toyota.com/s/article/How-does-Sport-mode-c-7761?language=en_US#:~:text=Answer-,Sport%20mode%20changes%20control%20parameters%20in%20transmission%20lockup%20and%20shifting,and%20Electronic%20Power%20Steering%20assist.

That would be amazing but I think the mirror itself needs to be a monitor screen itself, unfortunately it’s just a normal mirror. Good thought though! Thanks for watching!

What trim did you get?

So it’s definitely a bigger car- but it feels like it’s “light.” I’m sure they had to cut down on the weight somehow if they were going to use a four-cylinder turbo engine. But as far as it being Toyota quality, I feel as of right now that the car is made well. Once we get a few thousand miles on it, my opinion may or may not change, but I will definitely add an update to this video.

Interesting question, I’ve never had an issue with that. Well we are only 127 miles in on the car. I guess I’ll keep you posted. The only time I’ve ever experienced that in any vehicle was an aircraft and that was dramatic changes in altitude lol. Thanks for watching.

Guess you are a car audio enthusiast?

That would hurt. I had a 1996 Mercedes that did that. It hurt. If it happens a lot, you can open your "fresh air vent" on the air conditioner/heater on your dash. That will make it less of an issue. This could hurt the baby's ears, so it's a good thing to notice.

@@danbuffington75never had that issue before in any car, even when my 5 yr old was a newborn in the 2018 Highlander. Plus with the new cars these days, I figure that is an extremely rare issue with design and technology improvements.

@SoarAndMore I figured it has something to do with the seals on the door, whenever it actually happens. Like you said, it is not so common these days.

Yeah, with a car being upside down I don’t know how you’re gonna be able to get a good trade-in because you car prices have come down a lot. They’re definitely a slow down in the car market. I do know if you shop around your local area and you also look at kbb.com and Edmunds.com. You can see what the prices are doing for vehicles to include trade in and new purchases. Once you’ve done your research trust in the price that you want to pay and keep walking out until the dealer agrees to paying that. as far as the upside down jeep looks like you’re gonna have to figure out a way to sell it private party or just keep it. Lots of people got messed over in Covid. Thank you for watching and let me know how it goes.

I think we could have swung the Hybrid limited for about $57-58k with no addendum. How long ago were you trying to purchase it?

In hindsight, you will wish you had went with the Toyota; anything Stellantis makes is pure crap, and Jeep is no Exception...

It has an 8 speed transmission. It’s definitely compensated for the reduced HP. We are going to take a road trip soon. I am going to film and post findings. Now if you are driving at a high altitude like Colorado- historical data shows turbos lose efficiency. So that’s an unknown for me…

I haven’t had an issue, anyone else notice this?

Ours didn’t, I believe it’s a platinum option, but I’m not 100%sure.

Awesome! you gotta do what works for you!

I’m not 100% sure but I think somebody did a three-way comparison between the grand Highlander, the Telluride and the Hyundai palisade. If you do some digging through KZfaq, I’m pretty sure you can find the video. I can’t remember who made it.

Watch my video again. I explained it.

Just follow the advice in my video!

Thank you

If they try to make you pay any addendums - walk away. Go on KBB.com and Edmunds.com and find out what deals are happening in your area. Look up how much your Tuscon is worth on those sites as well. DO NOT BUDGE AN INCH! it’s going to take work. Watch my video again and write down what I did. I give it to you step by step.

@@SoarAndMore I appreciate you thank you

Beaver Toyota in St. Augustine Florida. Ask for Pheaon.

Don't show the need in the dealership, you will be taken to cleaners and back. Walk-in with the mindset to walkout in order to get the deal you want.

@@bkpatl2532 amen!!!

Thank you! I was looking and I see a bunch of people who were loaned the car. They don’t have anything invested in it. Wanted to do something real. Thank you for watching!

I personally have not driven one or done any research on one, but I love minivans and they are extremely functional. You can literally pile a ton of people in this car and tons of bags and still have room. The only problem is my wife did not want minivan. Lol! Thank you for watching. I bet you can get a deal on a sienna. Minivans usually are cheaper because most of the time nobody really wants them.

@@SoarAndMore From watching Sienna video on youtube I notice this weird thing where Americans really talk about Minivan stigma all the time. I've never once heard any stigma of vans here in Canada. They way I see it is that is cost almost half the price of a grand highlander and I get more room and a tv for the kids with a hybrid system saying more money on gas! They only thing I can see the grand highlander is better for is haul and if you like to go fast.

I’m very very weary of Chevrolet… I’ve had bad experiences!

That’s awesome. Must be a deal going on for them now through manufacture financing!

Watch the video again I explained it in detail

Thank you for sharing and watching! I hope you get a better deal than me!!!

We are not in the market for a large SUV anymore, my teenagers all driving now. Just bought my wife a new Lexus NX350h at $47k+tax fee. Considering such a large 3 row SUV at $52-5k, the GH Platinum is a bargain.

@@jml9550 good deal! I have another 10 years minimum before kids can drive. Looks like San Francisco may be the place to go to get a leading deal now.

@@SoarAndMore yeah seems like both here and South Cal area are offering discounts now. One of my buddy just bought a new Lexus ES350 at ~$7k discount in S. Cal and another buddy bought a new Honda Ridgeline Black edition at $6.6k discount in Sacramento area.

@@SoarAndMore BTW, 10 years+ goes by in a blink of an eye. I remembered bring my son home 17 years ago. now he is driving and scaring the poop out of me when I am on the passenger seat :)

Thank you! He’s definitely the star of the show. Thank you for watching!

Makes perfect sense, how much does the Highlander weigh? Wish I looked at the curb weight for our 2018 before I traded it in. The grand highlander definitely feels bigger but lighter. Guess that’s how they can use the 4 cylinder turbo now.

Oh only about $20k difference lol! Holy CRAP! I’m not a captain yet chief!!!

Anyway, you guys can order from the states or do you have to pay a tariff?

@@SoarAndMore we will need to pay additional tax for imported vehicle from states. Not worth it…

Gotcha, hope stock piles up fast for you guys

Gotta play hardball! Tell them that you have everything ready to go just need to drop the crappy addendum!

Storm cloud I believe is the name.

I show it in the whole video. Did a lot of shopping around and found out what was a realistic deal. Plus I was firm. I also hung up on salespeople who wasted my time.

State tax yes.

You might want to look at your maintenance guidelines. It’s usually 100,000 miles. I enjoy working on my own cars.

No. Just a turbo 2.4l 4 cylinder

Ya that’s what I figured- could have held out but then the stress of private sale for maybe 2000 more. Wasn’t worth the stress with a new baby.

@@SoarAndMore congrats on the new baby 🥳

@@rayyseason thank you for watching and also if you have any ideas about car trade-ins please share them here so that hopefully other people can learn from your experience or information

Yeah $2k is not much and with a new baby I wouldn’t deal with pastry buyer either. Been there down that on both parts, 2 teenager drivers in my household now…….

Looks like there may be a V6 option in the 2025… rumors as of now

There are tons in Jacksonville!!

U guys are lucky, here in Columbus there selling at MSRP because there's no cars.lol​@@SoarAndMore

Shop around. There are deals out there. We got less than that.

Yeah that’s false most credit unions are a lot lower

Try Navy Federal credit union

Car sales everywhere are way way down. I don’t agree with that.

Wow 0%? Awesome! No way cars are selling with that!

I did. About 1500 below. Deal is shown

We’ve never needed one. Plenty of 400 mile road trips… yes it’s an upgrade- way way more room than normal highlander

Yeah, unfortunately, the six cylinder is no longer available. You can only get the Highlander in the 2.4 cylinder turbo or the 2.5 four-cylinder turbo hybrid. They do not put 6 cylinders in any Highlanders anymore.

Really??? I love to see that... you let me know when that happens so I can come to see how it happens...

@@Aikynbreusovha ha - I fixed it. No more 6 cylinders at all in highlanders or grand highlanders…

Pilot is hideous inside and out and 3rd row is horrible. My wife and I have sat in all the SUVs this size with a 3rd row, nothing has beat the GH

Agreed

That age old saying man, happy wife happy life! You’re more than welcome to reach out if you need any marriage advice!

@@SoarAndMore thanks but I don’t need marriage advice. Been with mine for 15 years and luckily she thinks the same way I do in regard to rather not having a car payment than going into a $37k debt. But hey man you do you. I was just saying..

@@Mr_T817 cool man me too! 15 yrs going on 88! We needed a bigger car since we had new baby. Lots of stuff to carry on road trips, plus the mother in law goes with us too! To each their own! Thanks for watching.

Hey if the guy can afford it and it makes him happy. His spending is his business.

Why are you watching a review of a vehicle and then complaining about the reviewer for purchasing the vehicle? Not sure why you're watching this video and providing an unnecessary comment that has nothing to do with the review 🤔

Congratulations on the baby!

@@SoarAndMore thank you boss you and congratulations to you too.

@@dgeraldadorsainvil7873 just remember it’s perfectly ok to walk away from a deal. Car sales nationwide have slowed down drastically. They will make a deal if you do not budge or walk away. Congratulations on the growing family.

@@SoarAndMore will November-December be a good month to buy though ?

@@dgeraldadorsainvil7873 car sales will be slowing down so much because of the economy. You’ll be able to get a deal way better than mine. But you have to follow what I did.
