The arrival of my latest test vehicle, a 2010 Toyota Highlander SE 4X2, could hardly have been better timed. My daughter was graduating from high school and out-of-state relatives, two of whom had never been to Texas, were arriving for the festivities. As soon as everyone was assembled, I invited them to board the Highlander and on a rainy Friday afternoon we set off. For the next three days, we alternated between academic celebrations and touring South-Central Texas, taking in such diverse cultural attractions as old German settlements, barbecue joints, ancient Comanche encampments, barren mesas, taco bars, and student hangouts. The Highlander was the perfect companion.
The 2010 Highlander family consists of the Base, Sport, SE, and Limited, all except the Base 4-cylinder available with AWD. A Hybrid with AWD is also available; one such was recently tested by Autosavant. Prices range from around $25K for the Base 4-cylinder to slightly north of $45K for a full-boat Hybrid. My test vehicle, an SE 4X2, came in at $32K MSRP. The Base version with 4-cylinder 187-hp engine and 186 pound-feet of torque garners EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined: that sounds OK, but the deservedly more popular mill is the 3.5-liter V6 with 270 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque, harnessed to a seamless five-speed automatic (with manual-shift capacity).
