2001 Toyota Highlander

The 2001 Toyota Highlander, which is built on the Toyota Camry platform is a mid-size, five-passenger sport utility vehicle based on the Lexus RX 300, the platform, suspension, and 3.0-liter V6 engine. Highlander offers the optional four-cylinder engine with front wheel drive and a six-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive.

 

The Highlander is more car-like SUV than a truck based 4Runner with its unit-body platform, fully independent suspension, low step-in height, and sure-footed handling. Highlander is a spacious wagon that offers the security of four-wheel drive and a little of extra ground clearance for driving heavy rains and winters. Highlander is equipped with a fully independent suspension with MacPherson struts and front and rear anti-roll bars.

 

Toyota Highlander has a smooth V6 engine and pick up, passenger or cargo room, highway mpg, car-like handling, minimal interior noise, easy fold-down and reclining backseats, cargo liner, exterior style, and 360-degree sights. On the other side Toyota Highlander has flimsy interior plastic touches, rough ride over bumps, tinny JBL audio system, confusing side-by-side and cruise controls, somehow narrow front passenger seats to some occupants, cheap carpet mats, and recessed display panel.
