2016 Toyota Highlander Limited

The 2016 Highlander is Toyota's three-row family SUV, slotting between the compact RAV4 and the larger Sequoia. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Nissan Pathfinder in the crowded mid-size crossover segment. The Highlander drives smoothly and quietly, with a composed ride that makes long trips easy. Inside, the cabin is roomy and versatile, with a fold-flat third row that expands cargo space when needed. Ventilated front seats and the JBL audio system mark the Limited as the luxury pick above the XLE. Its 3.5L V6 makes 231 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission; four-wheel drive is standard on this trim. The Limited includes a 5,000-pound towing package as standard, so you can pull a small trailer without checking boxes.
