2013 Toyota Highlander Limited

The Highlander is Toyota's mid-size SUV, a three-row family hauler that competes with the Honda Pilot and Ford Explorer. It drives with a comfortable, planted feel, though the base engine is a bit sluggish when you need to merge or pass. The cabin is roomy and practical, with a third row that folds flat to open up generous cargo space. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, and higher trims add navigation and a rearview camera. The Limited is the top non-hybrid trim, so you get leather seats, a moonroof, and a power rear door that the base and Plus trims skip. Its 3.5L V6 makes 270 horsepower and pairs with a five-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, giving you confident traction in rain or snow. The Limited comes standard with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, safety gear you won't find on lower trims.
