Hello!

I've been driving a Pilot for the last 12 years and I'm ready for a new car. We test drove a Pilot - and I love it and all the features of the Touring Pilot - and LOVE the Apple-play - which connects my phone directly to the car's screen and manages Siri through the system.

Before I buy, though, we'd like to consider the Highlander as it seems it MIGHT be slightly lower entry than the pilot (did I mention Im short?) and might be easier for me to step in and drive.

I've tried to look on the Toyota website for the Highlander's features - and can't quite make out if the phone connects in a similar "Apple play" mode or if it has something different than the Honda?

Does it have lane sensing, braking, self-adjusting cruise control, etc? Blind Spot? (Which Touring Pilot doesn't have).

We plan on heading to the local Toyota Dealership on Monday!

Thanks for your input!

17 highlander has blind spot monitoring, Lane assist , dynamic cruise control..
you might get few extra based on the trim that you are looking at.

cardplay is something that it doesn't have yet, but has siri eyes...

check the ride in person... you will have a better understanding.. about the height..you can always get running boards if you feel it is higher..

you didn't find your answer in the other thread on the same exact topic?

Apologies. I didn't see such a thread. I'll look further and apologize again for bothering you.

We looked at Pilot but liked the Highlander more. Enjoy shopping.

Here's that other Pilot thread... it's been around for quite some time, so a lot of good discussion.
