Just got one for my wife, been waiting for a good while and it was absolutely worth it, highly recommend it, gotta say if you like them on video you will love them in person they’re gorgeous and more spacious than sequoias.
Thanks for your helping me/us have a more clear understanding of the availability of an eight seat configuration with other choices available. I’m really looking forward to order the hybrid engine with all other possible upgrades available to get a more premium Limited option vehicle. Thanks a lot for your help!👍🙋🏻♂️
None of the family coming to visit from Europe and South America are tall like you, so I think I can fit my aunt, my mom and my cousin in that 3rd row comfortably to drive around town… Plus the fwd facing car seats on the 2nd row, me in between and the men on the front… This will be perfect! 🥰💕💕💕 Can’t wait to get it later this year! 🥰
Great review. Just put deposit today for new build GH limited in storm cloud color with fully loaded options. Paid 53k out the door. Perfect for family of 3 plus grandkids when they visit. In Florida, looking forward to many beach trips with all that cargo space. Great video!
Very thorough and informative review! Just one question that I couldn't seem to grasp is at the 12:37 mark you mentioned "you can turn the start/stop with engine off right here"--does that mean there is an automatic engine shutoff by default in the car, so when you're at a stop or at a red light the engine turns off automatically and then turns back on when you accelerate, and that button you referred to would shut that off completely? I really dislike engines that have that auto on/off at a stop tech. Thanks in advance!
Yes, that is exactly what was meant with that statement. It is a button that would need to be pressed each time you start the vehicle as it defaults that way to claim the EPA fuel economy benefits.
Finally saw one on the road today. Gotta say, it looked just ok to me. I think its because my wife drives a rav 4, and i feel like ive been seeing that look for years. Other than that, cant wait to test drive. I only wish they didnt make it look so much like a rav 4, and nothing like a highlander. I wonder why it wasnt called grand rav
Just test drove 1 yesterday. Vechicle itself is very nice, but 1 big problem is had 2 riding in the 2nd row. Both people complained that the seatbelt in 2nd road was riding very high in there necks. Have you notices that ?
Thanks for sharing your experience. Not yet. At this moment I have only been in the front seat, but when we get one for a full week of testing here on the channel I will be sure to check that out.
My grand highlander hybrid max is almost stalling on some turns, the tranny would shake and it takes a bit for power to kick in. It's hard to replicate. I brought my car in also bc the power would surge on some acceleration. Toyota tried to update the software but it failed up update so they ended up resetting the ECU so the car is working as it should until it relearns my driving habits and will power surge again
The leather and microsuede seats are the biggest interior upgrade. Standard panoramic roof Standard head up display Heated and ventilated second row seats
The second to the bottom trim is always the best for Toyota. The bottom trim are horrible and just there to meet an entry price. When you get to the higher trims, you can get much better products for the price.
Thought the same when I went to look at a sequoia . Looks nice on their website but in person everything looks like it’s cheap material . I wouldn’t mind it if I was paying 30k for a highlander or 40k for a sequoia. But these prices for the quality don’t convince me one bit . I’ll be better off going with a Ford .

Enjoy!!!!
You drive this too bud
Just got a 2024 Limited Hybrid AWD- such a sweet ride! Very spacious, upscale, blacked out trim & 30mpg. Get one- you will be happy!,
do you feel buzzing vibration when you apply the brake at certain speed? (like 20-40mph)
Very practical SUV, glad they finally went with a nice 12" display
👍🏼

Enjoy it when you do!
@@GTGarageTalk I appreciate you showing us how these care are inside and out, how they ride and all. Makes buying cars a lot easier! God bless you! 🥰🙏
@@sw6155 Happy to help. Have you seen our family review? th-cam.com/video/fJZ26bBIKY0/w-d-xo.html
@@GTGarageTalk oh! I’ll definitely check it out! 🥰👍
Very helpful review. I just got a GH hybrid max and haven't had a chance to explore all the interior details. Your review covered quite a bit!
Thank you for watching.
How much was GH hybrid Max? Is it same price of GH Platinum
Thanks for your reply to my question.
Happy to help

I always wondered how that process worked. What all do you have to do?
@@caseysol941 put a 500 to 1k deposit down, when car is delivered you pay balance or they refund your money if it's not what your expectations are.
Yeah the Hybrid limited is the one I would get.
👍🏼
But I can't afford it
@@LuvxJacqu4li8e me too.!! i would get it if i have the money. 😅
@@bradyb9929same here. In wind chill pearl I can’t wait! Got the limited hybrid fully loaded 😁
Have one on order since September- sure wish we’d get it soon. Dealer said it should be before we head south for a month or so . . . In march
Great review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! More from the hybrid - I want real world numbers for fuel efficiency
We will have the hybrid max version for a week in a week. More coming soon.
Got the XLE myself. I cant see spending 5k for a few cosmetic features that add little to the overall experience.
Enjoy it!

It really does look like a grand RAV.
Got the wife a platinum silver with black wheels and black interior we love it feels so nice inside
Very nice. Enjoy
Does the "Limited" come with the JBL sound system?
Yes
Yes. Currently testing another.
My 2021 Sienna XSE required a subscription to use remote start. I was told all models going forward will require that.
Not a fan of the subscription model
I don’t know about that auto start feature it doesn’t say that on the website
I think the best trim is the standard hybrid limited. Sure you don't get the horsepower but you get great mpg.
For those who don’t want the hybrid, yes.
@@GTGarageTalk for both limited is the Goldilocks
Would I be able to get max added on ?
Hi corey, would you pick this one over top trim telluride? Im torn!
I think that top trim SX Prestige Telluride is nicer inside with the suede headliner and it has a better warranty.
Does this vehicle trim has CD player and/ or USB play plugs for music ? Can we have a option for this Audio player Media ?
No cd player. Yes to usb.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully your issues are resolved.
Ask the dealer for the Toyota technical service bulletin for this issue.
how the hell does this not have cams-at this price? my taco has 360 cameras!
Platinum or Platinum HybridMAX are equipped with 360° cameras.
I think about 4K more to get Hybrid Limited right?
Got my last week.
Had to get regular engine since I wanted platinum.
Hybrid too long a wait
They don't make as many platinum or hybrids.
Hope you enjoy!
Does it have a timing belt or chain?
Chain
Wish Honda would look at this and think about adding a hybrid option to the Pilot. God forbid the ridgeline, but the don't really want to sell those😂
We are about to test a Pilot Trailsport.
HOW MUCH FOR OUT THE DOOR PRICE WITH the limited
$60k+
At least
We paid $51340. Or should I say, our paperwork says 451340, just haven’t got it yet
We are testing one now for an msrp of $54,000
Which model? At $54,000.00 sounds like a Limited Hybrid?@@GTGarageTalk
@@yahooskip yes, we are in a limited hybrid AWD.
1:21 mini engine 🥹
2.4L
What’s the difference between limited vs platinum?
The leather and microsuede seats are the biggest interior upgrade.
Standard panoramic roof
Standard head up display
Heated and ventilated second row seats
Dual Exhaust Tips, digital rearview, Traffic Assist, Heads-up Display

👍🏼
People in Texas know about Toyota quality vehicles?
🤔
Why you said it's the best trim ?
It has all the options most consumers are looking for in the segment.
I wouldn’t purchase a hybrid because maintenance costs
They offer a non-hybrid option. 😉
Just cheap looking period. I'm not fooled.
Thought the same when I went to look at a sequoia . Looks nice on their website but in person everything looks like it’s cheap material . I wouldn’t mind it if I was paying 30k for a highlander or 40k for a sequoia. But these prices for the quality don’t convince me one bit . I’ll be better off going with a Ford .
@@CristianM4252 no you are not😂
I’m curious, what looks cheap?
Toyota “premium” SUV ? 😂 It’s a mainstream brand
Mainstream brands can have premium offerings. 😉
Would I be able to get max added on ?
