And a gorgeous 1 owner 77 year old women drove her 2007 Lexus SUV had 265k miles she drove to Arizona from Chicago every other week to see her kids-grandkids She junked it cuz the steering would be extremely loose faster you drove! U could turn wheel halfway either way and it will still go straight! She said dealer gave her a $4,400 repair estimate and she wasn’t able to pay that. So junked it. Well junk yard looked at it and put sway bar links and stable bar and lower/upper control bushing and fixed it for less then $400 and sold it online.

    @@paulahunt3508 Yes, midsize crossover for the time. Now that being said, vehicles have gotten bigger and the old Highlanders share a footprint more similar to the current RAV4. So if you gauged it by today's standards. It would be more like a Compact Crossover, like the RAV4 or CRV. However, today's Highlanders would still fall under midsize, though on the lower end. With the Grand Highlander/New Pilot being more close to the American standard of "mid-size". You don't get full size until you get to the Sequoia and to be fair, even that is on the lower end of "full-size". Most Japanese manufacturers make smaller vehicles compared to American ones. When it comes to the American brands, you got plenty of full size SUVs. Like the Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon and others.

The other day I stopped to take a water break and an older gentleman did the same on his e-trike. He told me that he thought he would never get back on a bike because he has lost some balance but is now riding with his family, going to a lakeside taco stand etc. He's back out and riding 250-300Km a week.

    Scotty I know you hate Nissan's but, every suv. I'm looking at Honda CRV they have ether a 1.5L 4 cylinder and a turbo charger, or 2.0 L with a hybrid both with a CVT transmission. Toyota Highlander( it has a 4 cylinder motor with a turbo charger, and a 9 speed automatic transmission! My wife loves Subaru Outback, they have a 2.5L naturally aspirated 4 cylinder boxer ( Porsche) boxer motor, I've read that the newer f engine boxers use oil some say as much as 2 quarts between changes, and a cvt automatic transmission. We have decided against the Subaru Outback for sure. The Nissan Pathfinder 2nd yr of the new style, it has a 3.8L V6, and a 9 speed automatic transmission, pathfinder got a worse than average dependability rating, from consumer reports, as well as the Nissan Frontier with a new design also, has a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 with a 9 speed automatic transmission, also got a worse than average reliability relating from CR. Scotty you just did a segment on a man buying a new Frontier and favored it because of the motor and transmission set up. What do you think about the new designed Nissan Pathfinder compared to the CRV and the Toyota Highlander both received above average dependability ratings in CR, also so did Outback Subaru!

    I would take that 3.3 V-6 in a heart beat over a turbo four even if that V-6 is an interference engine. Just change the rubber timing belt every 80-100,000 miles or whenever it starts to get some small cracks in it.

    For looks, 2nd generation (08-13) was the best looking imo. The 3rd gens got taller and narrower looking. Wasn't as much of a fan of that bodystyle. Anything with a 3.5L V6 will be bulletproof. Some of the early 2nd gens have a rubber oil hose that can be problematic, they changed them to metal tubing around 2010 I think.

    I agree with you, Scotty. I bought a NEW 2022 GMC Canyon crew cab with the V6 over a 2023 model last year because in 2023 you could only get a 4 banger turbo or a 4 banger diesel turbo...no more v6. I was also looking at the new Toyota Highlanders but same problem...four banger only. Heck no. I want nothing to do with a turbo 4 cylinder cars being shoved down our throats. I loved our old 2005 Highlander with the V6, but only having the 4 banger was a no-go for me. We put about 189,000 miles on it and sold it to a family friend who needed a first car for their daughter. Did her great until she wrecked it. So yeah, I'll buy a used car with a v6 or v8 over these new overpriced four banger turbos. Ford and GM turbo vehicles are a definite NO WAY buy for me.

I also noticed the fans aren’t moving a lot of air. The car doesn’t overheat at all even in the summer. What would be the first thing to do? Is the compressor bad? I don’t see any leaks. Switches maybe? The blower went bad (only working on HI) and I replaced it. The car has 100k miles. Thanks

    Really thought about picking one up. Hard to find a Regular Highlander. Guess they are going to build more Grand H's. Bad thing is, it's heavier and the turbo tends to struggle. They won't "bump" it up for MPG, reliability and you can run 87 in it reasons. Toyota also has the service plan fees after the free trial is done. This is why Nissan and Honda still have their six's. Could they use a little more refinement and power, yeah. They are still smoother than a turbo four.

But the real culprits are the politicians who have placed unreal emission standards. But I also blame car companies for not doing more to push back against the emission regulations. For those wondering, no, I do not believe that humans are contributing to climate change in any significant way and neither do the politicians or they wouldn't be buying up beachfront properties and the big bankers with millions on the line wouldn't be handing out mortgages for beach front commercial property.
