What should I look for in a used Toyota Highlander 4x4?

While parking aids are plentiful, the Toyota Highlander remains a large car, so is easily dented or scraped – inspect the example you're interested in for damage to the bodywork and wheels.

What are the most common problems with a used Toyota Highlander 4x4?

There are currently two recalls listed against the Highlander, only for the 2021 model year. One involves the emergency calling system (eCall) and has affected 26,575 vehicles. The system might not function when required. A software update can fix this.

The other recall has affected less cars, specifically 656, and involves the seat-back frames. Certain points weren't manufactured correctly, but they can be modified to resolve the issue.

Contact your local Toyota dealer if you believe your vehicle is affected. They can deal with both of these issues and at no cost to you.
