I know someone with a stage 1 Highlander and it’s sick. Keep up the great work guys

really like when you guys get into the difference between awd for roads and awd for off road.

The Highlander is more family friendly if you want a crossover as well as a little better driving dynamics. The 4runner is mostly for those who want a sturdier vehicle and A vehicle that drives more like a truck. As a guy myself who doesn’t have a family, the 4runner is basically a lifestyle vehicle. Used for camping, Offroading and other great adventures. There’s just tons of 4runner owners who post videos of themselves and their lifestyle vehicle that goes anywhere.

Thanks for the video, I was wondering about the Highlander's offroad capability. You guys have an awesome channel. Thanks again for all the great content.

Great vid. Great job Tommy!

Most people are better off with a highlander since the vehicle is their daily driver and even for the majority of the 4runner owners,the 4runner is an overkill for their needs and I’m one of them,but I just like the ruggedness,simplicity and tough appearance of the 4runner,that’s why I went with the 4runner.

A Highlander yanked my F-150 out of a snowdrift a couple weeks ago. I laughed and bought some chains and a come-along when I got back to town.

Nice truck...don't see a lot of these here where I live...most people here buy the 4Runners..thanks Roman n Tommy.. Good job

I literally spent the last few weeks driving and researching both the highlander and the 4runner before buying one. The highlander is literally better than the 4runner at everything except serious off road ability. Plan on going on trails that need serious articulation? Get a 4runner, but for 99% of people the highlander is the better pick. Its more spacious, faster, handles better, better mpg, more tech and a nicer interior. As far as unibody suvs go the higlander has even has some neat awd tech like a center locking diff button and down hill assist making it more than just a minivan like many people claim.

Thanks for this video. I work in the factory that makes those and always wanted to see one offroad.

Nice review. You made a point that we all wonder but don’t try.

I have a 2021 XLE that I just installed a 2" lift kit on. It raised the front 2"s which made it easier to get in and out of .The kit is from TORQ INDUSTRIES and does not void Toyota highlander warranty ! My car now sits level like it should've from the factory . Next will be aftermarket wheels and larger tires ,one great auto with AWD . I have the turbo 6 cylinder that produces 305 hp and gives me 30+ MPG ! IN 2023 the highlander will( unfortunately) only be available with the hybrid mode or their turbo 4 cylinder pkg.Towing capacity with the 6 cylinder is a whopping 5,000 lbs . The 4 cylinder towing drops down to 3,000 lbs .

Pretty sure they're both for moving people AND things around, just on different terrains and capactities. Just like most pickup trucks, most of the people I know with a 4-Runner only chose it for appearance over the Highlander, and not for its utility. Tried to talk my single-mom-with-3-kids neighbor into replacing her old Tahoe with a newer Highlander and she instantly scoffed at it and looked at 4-runners instead despite them having less seat room for kids and being considerably less practical and more expensive. Some people just can't get over image and buy what they need instead of what they want. She ended up just getting a newer Tahoe though, lol.

I just returned my 2018 highlander SE lease, and got a 2021 4runner limited. Highlander is a great SUV for paved road and maybe dirt roads but that's it. It had no skid plates, and although it is AWD., it is basically a front wheel drive crossover. The engine is in sideways like a front wheel drive car. I am not mocking the Highlander, I loved mine and hated to give it up, almost got another one (XSE). But I need to tow a boat now and would not want to do that with a highlander.

I have a 5th gen 4Runner. Was at the dealer getting a recall done the other day and was looking to the new Highlander. They're not joking, the interior is beautiful. And big too! Much more room inside than the 4Runner. Honestly, with the two exceptions of off-roading and image, the Highland does literally everything better than the 4Runner. It even has the same towing capacity.

Trail Runnah 5k towing is very conservative with the 4Runner. 5k towing is going to push the heck out of the Highlander. The Highlander isn’t much different than the RAV4. It’s rides on the same un and has the same transmission. If a trailer is too much for a RAV4 you definitely don’t want to tow it with a Highlander.

what the hay?! did you just compare a Highlander to a Silverado?!?! LOL! Just kidding! Great video guys.

I honestly want to own both the 4runner and highlander.

The fact that you had to use the trail boss shows the problem with the front fascia setup on all the current trucks. Only the lifted version could tackle this tiny obstacle.

Nice people mover for smooth roads or bumpy roads but, it sure isn't an off-roader. Thanks Roman and Tommy very good review.

@4:25 wow, it even comes with an action camera.

That means I could drive my Sienna AWD all the way up the since they share the same engine and same powertrain (A "bit less ground clearance than this of course".......)

I hike, mountain bike, camp, and road trip. And my highlander does it better than my outback (not something I thought I’d ever say). It’s a great car. I don’t need a 4Runner and I like that I’ve got more space inside than a RAV4. It’s not the best midsized SUV, but it’s very good and one of the better ones you can get for a reasonable price in this wild car market
