Thoughts on this GHHL deal?

Looks crappy to me but interested in thoughts. In the Midwest. Thanks!

Edit: sorry should’ve clarified better - going to pay cash (not financing, the interest is insane) but still the overall number out the door $57k for the car seems high?

4Runner Limited Hybrid with 3rd row vs Grand Highlander Limited AWD Hybrid???

I’m stuck between these two and wanted to get some opinions from people who own them or have driven both.
I currently drive a Tesla Model Y Long Range and want to add a gas car for convenience and the occasional road trip. I commute about 40 miles round trip, three days a week, and the rest is mostly city/suburb driving.
It’s just me, my wife, and our little Shih Tzu. No kids, but we might get a second dog down the road. I’d like a third row for when family or friends visit, even though it probably won’t get used that often.
I also road bike pretty frequently, so being able to throw my bike in the back without too much hassle is important.
A few things I’m looking for:
Leather seats
360 camera (really don’t want to give this up after owning a Tesla)
Hybrid, if it makes sense with price
Good cargo space with the third row folded
Reliability and durability. I’d like to keep this car for 7–10 years.
My biggest concern with the Grand Highlander is the size. I don’t want something unnecessarily huge or a pain to park in garages and tight spaces. At the same time, it seems like the more practical option for my needs.
The 4Runner looks great and seems easier to drive, but I’m wondering if I’d be giving up too much comfort, space just for the looks and ruggedness.
For those who own either one, how are they for everyday driving? How’s the tech, parking, cargo space, and long-term reliability? Also curious how the hybrids have been holding up.
Which would you choose in my situation, and why?

Acceleration Hybrid Max vs regular hybrid

I’m just curious for those of you who have the regular hybrid, do you often notice poor acceleration? A couple reviews I watched they complained about lack of acceleration, and obviously the hybrid max adds more. I’m just wondering if it’s worth the extra money up front for the hybrid max, plus the cut in fuel efficiency. Thanks

Dallas - Grand Highlander Limited

Quick correction. Can’t figure out how to edit the post title. This is for Grand Highlander Hybrids.

Way below MSRP. I had a great experience with a dealership there. Hooked me up with $4000+ off MSRP. They have 5 new GHH inbound that are not spoke for. Happy to refer you to the sales person and give contact info. I traveled in from Chicago and purchased. Was VERY happy.

Finally found a decent deal on a Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited in SoCal

After reaching out to 20+ dealerships around Southern California, I finally found one willing to offer a pretty substantial discount on a 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited. So far, no other rep that has followed up has been able to match it.
Attached is my pricing sheet for anyone interested in comparing numbers.
If anyone’s looking for one, feel free to message me and I can pass along my salesperson’s contact info. He mentioned he’d be willing to work with other buyers as well.
Full disclosure, he did offer a referral fee if someone I send his way ends up purchasing.

Where Should I Get an Auto Loan?

I’m getting ready to purchase a new Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited and would appreciate some advice on financing.
Where do you recommend getting an auto loan — Toyota Financial Services, a credit union, or a bank?
What loan term would you recommend: 36, 48, 60, or 72 months?
What interest rate would be considered a good deal right now?
What should I watch out for when financing through a dealership? Any hidden fees or common traps to avoid?
I have good credit and can make a substantial down payment, but I’d like to compare financing options before making a decision.
Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How to Verify a Brand-New Toyota Before Taking Delivery?

When picking up a new Toyota, how can I make sure the vehicle is genuinely brand new and factory-original? What should I check or ask the dealership to verify that it has never been previously titled, used as a demo, or damaged?

Rear blower noise

2024 FWD Limited has this noise coming from the rear blower (sometimes not always). Toyota always says it’s normal, but it’s not. My warranty will expire next week.

What should I do?

Can the 2.4L Turbo Last 100K–200K Miles?

I’ve been reading a lot of negative comments online and on YouTube about the GH 2.4L turbo engine. Many people say the naturally aspirated hybrid is a better choice for long-term reliability.
Unfortunately, the Hybrid Limited is already outside my budget, so I’m considering the gas Grand Highlander Limited instead.

My biggest concern is reliability. I plan to keep this SUV for 10+ years and hopefully 150K–200K miles.
Is the 2.4L turbo really something to worry about? Can it realistically last that long with proper maintenance, or am I just overthinking all the negative comments?
Would love to hear your feedbacks and advice. Thanks!

I’ve had my heart set on the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid max for a long time, but just recently I’ve started contemplating going the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Nightshade edition route! Help

I have my exact build for my 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander hybrid max ordered with a build date of October 13th expected to arrive end of the month and I’m currently driving a Volvo XC90 rental for the past month. There is a 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid nightshade arriving today fully loaded and I’ve been contemplating just buying that instead. I have 5 little ones as a single father so financial practicality and reliability means a lot to me, but I also have never owned a vehicle under 300HP and I really don’t want to if I’m being completely honest. I’m torn between what I feel is perfect for what I want and what I feel is perfect for what I need.. help me choose asap..

Side note the nightshade is available today so that saves me an additional 30 days of paying for a rental (give or take) …

HELP!!!

Trim Comparison Feedback

I'm looking (but not yet) at the TGH, but seem to be leaning towards the Nightshade (of course I'd pick the top tier >.<). What are the key talking points for the top 3 trims (non-Max) that I should know about? I should probably make a list of needs / wants before such a post, but I'm not Supposed to be car shopping either (anytime soon).

Pricing on XLE Hybrid vs Limited Hybrid

We’re in the market for a 2026 Grand Highlander and I’m between the XLE & the Limited. The big draw of the Limited for me is the larger display screen and the panoramic view camera.

Thoughts on if the additions justify the price increase?

What can I ballpark for each of these?

For the hybrid limited with panoramic view camera but no additional add ons, the best quote I’ve received is $56K.

I haven’t been quoted for XLE yet.

Folding down half the third row leaves the cargo mat completely bunched

Dropping the single rear seat to slide a stroller in causes the center seam of the cargo mat to buckle. Instead of flexing cleanly along the split, the rubber binds against the seat hinge, leaving a gap where dry dirt drops straight onto the exposed carpet below. Straightening the mat out requires climbing into the cargo area and prying the lip loose by hand. My brother put 3W on his list of possibilities when he saw their split-back layout online. Does that separate seat-back design actually stay attached to the carpet when you cycle the seat upright?
