New Toyota owner

[two_highlanders]

a year ago I never owned an import car, and now I have two.
I have an 09 highlander sport and an 05 highlander limited. So far so good for the most part. Although, the 19" tires on the 09 sport leave much to be desired, which seems to be a common complaint. And the engine noise from the 3.5 v6 before it warms up bothers me a bit.

Welcome to the forums!

The Highlander forums here are bustling with helpful information and advice. I hope it comes in useful to you at some point or another. Whether it be from modifications to scheduled service advice or repairs, there is something in there for almost everyone.

Happy motoring, and once again, welcome to TN

Looks like I'll be seeing you in the Highlander forums. For the noise/clatter issue you can navigate to the 08+ Highlander forum's sticky thread section and click on the Common Problems & Solutions sticky. There's a link in there with more info about the clatter issue. BTW, the entire sticky section is well worth checking out as many of the owners there have contributed info to that section.
