I agree. The highlander should outlast the traverse. The most likely one to do that would be the standard hybrid since it doesn’t have a turbo

I would like a comparison with base models. Not everyone buys the higher trim level.

Great review, as usual. Would like to point out that you didn't mention the front row (esp. driver) seating space. As somebody who is 6'5, I was very shocked by how little leg and shoulder space there is in the Grand Highlander. By comparison, the Traverse has an incredible amount of leg and shoulder space for the driver. I'm not sure if the space would be worth a half point, but the difference is tremendous for tall people.

Another decent comparison review gents. I think you left out the under floor storage in the chevy, and while 'not significant' and extra inch of leg room in 2nd row is huge when you are over 6' tall (like most my family. One stat I would love to hear about is ease of getting into the 2nd row. I'm 6'3", and I can't get into 2nd row of a normal highlander without having to bend in awkward ways and then slouch when inside.

7:40 I really appreciate y’all using the same track for the sound system to get a feel of the difference in sound better 👍🏽

Fantastic review. you glossed over that the Grand Highlander has ventilated 2nd row seats (Chevy does not). Is there any way to do a mother-of-comparison video somehow of all the comparable 3 row SUV adding in the like of: CX-90, Santa Fe, Palisade, Telluride etc...? Even if it's more numbers based incorporating your scoring methods (which are very useful).

Over 5K cheaper and includes a massive screen, 360 camera, etc. Don't know if it comes with standard power seats or liftgate though. Either way the Grand Highlander base model is quite expensive....

The Buick had a blown transmission, my cobalt blew a head gasket, I’m not sure what the issue with the lumina was. I’m very glad that you’ve had good experiences with Chevrolet products. However, many people do not. Before you even mentioned it I do maintain my vehicle, transmission fluid every 60,000 miles, coolant on time. I make sure to take care of my vehicle. However, Chevrolet has not taken care of me at all. Going over to the Toyota side I’ve had three different Toyota, all go over 100,000 miles and keep going with no problems whatsoever. Stick with what works for you 👍🏻

You're not seeing any GH at MSRP. Lowest I've seen is $63000

Somehow Chevrolet has managed to make the Traverse look shorter than it actually is, from the side profile it looks much shorter than the Toyota GH even though it isn’t. It’s actually substantially longer.

I’ll take the better styling, better quality, similar reliability and better interior experience over one less trip to the pump easily. I like the ventilated rear seats and sunshades in the GH but I prefer the second row in the Traverse and the way they’ve divided the storage between exposed and underfloor storage.

Never getting a Toyota or Lexus again.

Out of these two big cars I like the Toyota cause that Chevy probs not even reliable!!! But no man should think this creamy ebony donk comes cheap! Phat cakes like these don’t grow on trees and you best bring your A-game if you want a taste of these scrumptious yams!!!!!

Between these two, I like the Grand Highlander more, but if I was shopping for a vehicle in this segment, I’d go Pathfinder personally

I have a 22 Pathfinder and really like it, however, it's significantly smaller than the traverse and GH. The Pathfinder is perfect for a family of 4, but IMO isn't quite large enough for a family of 5 or more. I'll also add that the Pathfinder in SL trim is a fantastic value.

@@michaelmi7903 I’ve been in the latest Pathfinder and I think the space is good enough for a family of 5 or even a family of 6, I agree with you that the SV and SL are the best values in the lineup however if budget allows I would go for the Platinum as it’s competitive with luxury SUVs like the Acura MDX for say (ofc the MDX is gonna handle a lot better tho but the Pathfinder does have more space)

You should consider where the car was built. Toyota, built in Japan or the Transverse built in the US. Built in the US should get a full point. Also,?the Toyota looks dated.
