When we need to haul and tow lots of people and gear, we settle into the driver's seat of the Toyota Highlander. Its midsize silhouette handles like a car, yet its cabin and cargo offer cushy comfort and plenty of room. Its sheer power and efficiency make it a favorite among the enthusiasts on our team at Ryburn Toyota in Monticello, AR.
Tow Tons Like a Seasoned Pro
Properly equipped, the Toyota Highlander tows a whopping 5,000 pounds. It's all thanks to a 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine making 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Combined with all-wheel drive, the Toyota Highlander manages an EPA-estimated rating of 25 mpg city/highway combined.
Drive Over Any Terrain
The Toyota Highlander has a seamless, composed ride on paved roads, but it handles just as confidently on uneven terrain. Its Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) feature makes it possible. When you activate MTS, it senses slippage and manages wheelspin. It works on a range of terrains and in diverse weather conditions corresponding to the selectable terrain drive modes:
- Normal
- Snow
- Rock & Dirt
- Mud & Sand
