- It's always fun finding something useful that you didnt know you had. The highlander since 2014 has had one of these features that most people dont know they have. This is in the 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 and even in the new generation 2020 and 2021 2022 2023 #Toyota #highlander .

I saw this video at 1am in bed and couldn't wait till dawn to go check it out. And there it was, my happy little secret. I've had this car a 2015 limited for 3 years and never realized it was there. Thanks to you man. I'm in Nigeria.
Happy to help
By far, you provide the most simplistic and yet concise tutorials. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Bought my Platinum last month and immediately looked into the area you showed us and there it was! Thank you Steve. I would have never known.
Glad to help
I've been pulling the cover out of my highlander and putting it back in every time I needed it. Didn't know it had a hiding spot back there. This was much needed.
happy to help
Thanks, Steve!
I just got My Highlander Limited a month ago and this video showed me something the salesman did NOT show, the cargo cover! Thanks for taking the time to make this. I also watched another one of your videos covering 25 things to know about the Highlander. Your videos should be shown as training videos for sales staff!
Thanks again!
Actually some dealerships do use them I have found out.
I have several videos to help you to get the most out of your new highlander. Thank you for subscribing
WHAT??? What did I just watch here??? Highlander 2019 XLE new at the time. Drove it for 3 years. Never knew this. Just ran outside in the cold and check. Confirmed. OMG thank you so much. Hahahaha
Its crazy how many people have no clue
Thanks for the video. Before I viewed the video, I purchased the 2021 Platinum, asked salesman if I could purchase the cargo cover and they did not have them in stock. Later the next day looking for tricks and found your video. Checked the back as you instructed and there it was. Many thanks saved me the cost of the unit!
Glad I could help
I had a 15 yo Highlander and just about 6 weeks ago I bought a really nice 3 yo Highlander to replace it. Of course my old car didn’t have this option.
As soon as I watched this, I went to the garage and checked it out. I was so glad to see mine had this, especially since it’s used.
I started watching videos to replace a part that was damaged when I purchased the vehicle. I used that video to do my removing and installing of that part. So glad I continued watching videos just for the heck of it!!
Now if I could just find gas and brake pedal extenders, I would be happy.
Thank you so much!
Happy to help
Thanks for your awesome videos on highlanders. 5 days ago I got my new to me highlander xle & I love it. Your videos helped me figure out how to close the power gate when it got stuck open because the window was open, but even better after watching this video I went out & found exactly what you said the dealer didn't even realize was already there. We didn't even notice it when we opened everything up while looking at it before we bought it & we had planned on buying one but now don't have to with a brand new one already in it. Thanks again!!!
beautiful. happy to help
My name is Fritz. I own a 2022 Toyota HighLander and I never knew that it was equipped with the tunnel cover. Thank you for your video. It helped.
Happy to help.
My cover was out when I bought the car, now I know where to store it! Thanks
Happy to help
Thanks for letting me know this. Very good info. I have been keeping mine in the bedroom 😂
Happy to help
I did not know this, I purchased my 2016 Toyota Highlander limited new and never shown. Thank you!!!!!
Happy to help
I did not know that my 2019 XLE had that special holder for the rear cover. My Highlander came with it, when I bought it brand new. I usually take it out and put it on the floor of the second row, when the dog goes for a ride with me. Thank you so much. I am loving your videos!
Awesome. Happy to help
Awesome video!! I've had my 2016 Limited Highlander for about 4 years now and had no idea this cover was in there. Thanks for the info - really appreciate it!
Awesome. Happy to help
Steven, I have a 2021Toyota Highlander Limited. I have had since December 2021. I was going to buy a cargo cover. I am so glad I looked at your tutorial on hidden features. My 2011 Highlander I can't remember but I think it was already set up. And I was looking for instructions to install the cargo net I bought and I saw the hidden features and decided to look at it. I am so glad I did. Salesman did not tell me. I kind of had an idea how to put in the net from my 2011 Highlander but I did not realize all I had to do was pull the hooks on the bottom. Plus I did not have on my glases and di not ant o break anything, Love the information! Thank you!
happy to help
I bought 2017 brand new Highlander and I didn't know this feature. Thank you.
happy to help
Thanks so much. I didn't know it had that storage for the cover. It's been behind my front door of my house for two years!
My wife thanks you too
Glad I could help!
We just purchased our Hylander today. I was just talking to my husband about wanting one for the trunk to shade our stroller from the sun. We were never told about. Thanks so much.
That is awesome!
My 2004 Highlander Limited V6, 4WD came with the tonneau cover installed. Mine not only unrolls to the rear but there are 2 covers (one left one right) that roll out and snap into the receptacles on the back of the 3rd seats so there is full concealment of the rear cargo area. But thanks to your video I now know that there is a storage location for the assembly when not in use. Like others here I always stored it at the house when rarely using the 3rd seat. Good to know.
I have a 2021 and I had no clue that was in there!! I just went out and looked after watching this and there it was! I was actually trying to figure something else out and ran across this video. I will be looking at more of your videos now to see what else I am missing out on!! Thanks!
Welcome to the channel. I am happy to help
Thank you ! I had no idea. Just bought 2018 several weeks ago. Awesome info!
Happy to help
Hey how do you like that? How many miles on the one u got?
brought a 2021 limited about a month ago. Didn't know about the cover until watch this video. Thank You!
Happy to help
I have a 2021 highlander platinum hybrid and have had it since November 2020.... didn't know I had this. Thanks!
happy to help
Thank you for sharing. I didn’t know that we have that hidden tunnel cover until I watched this video.
Glad I could help!
Sweet. I just bought a 2021 XLE in Knoxville this past weekend and had the cover in the back, just loose. I took out and put in garage, and had no clue it has a storage space. I just put it there . THANK YOU...
That's the other reason for this video. Glad it helped!
This is fantastic, I took ages looking through the manual and you sorted it out for me in a couple of minutes, any time you are in Tasmania I will gladly buy you a beer;.seriously though I really appreciate the time and trouble you spent uploading this gem!! Martin
Glad it helped
Great to know where to place the cover when using the third row. I have a 2018 SE, and was irritated when I had to take it out because my wife needed to use the 3rd row and I didnt know it had a storage spot. Awesome information.
Happy to help
I just bought a 2018 Limited Platinum. THANKS so much! I had no idea that I had the cover, or the mesh holder... but it was in the back. Much appreciated info!
Happy to help
Ty. Just bought a 2010 highlander base model today and had the cover but brought it in my house. Found the spot for it in the car and also found an air compressor on the left side!!
Very nice!
Can you tell me where the windshield fluid goes for the back window of 2021 Highlander Thank youn
2014 LE, I did not know about this storage location. I had purchased one when I bought our used Highlander but was keeping it in the garage. Now have it in its storage area thanks to you.
happy to help
Thanks Steve from Ontario Canada. New limited highlander. I didn’t know it could be stored there👍🇨🇦😀
Glad to help
Thanks. Never knew we had one. We've only had our second hand 2015 GX-R Highlander for 2 weeks now. Nice little bonus...LOL!
Happy to help
Great insight. Didn't know I have it after owing it for 4 months. Thank you Boss
Happy to help
Totally didn’t know that I had this in my 2018 limited platinum. My cousin told me after buying a 2022 XLE. He was like are you sure?? 😂Thanks for making this video!!
HAppy to help
Hey Steve:
I just bought a 2019 Highlander XLE, and I haven't looked in the "well" yet.
I fall into that category of people who set their vanity covers in their garage. I only ever use one when my wife and I are traveling, just so would be thieves DON'T see what's in the back, but the Christmas gift concept is good too. I was just thinking about whether I should go buy one or not? MAN...Am I glad I watched this video!!!
I've learned more from watching your videos in 5 minutes than I did from reading this friggin' New York City phone book sized owners manual for 2 days!! Thank you. Keep us newbs in mind. I bought my wife a brand new 2016 Toyota RAV4 in 2016 and it was the best decision I ever made. I'm still trying to figure out how the heck to STOP that damned Seat belt alarm????
Thanks:
Dave
thanks. is the seat belt alarm for weight in the back seats? if so plug on the seat belts and it will stop. also there are seat belt chime stoppers sold on amazon if you want to go that way. they are less than $10
I will check my Highlander, I just got it 2 weeks ago. A lot to learn. Thanks
What trim level?
@@stevenwelchtoyota 2021. I cannot turn on the blind spot camera. I like your videos a lot.
I just watched this video and checked my highlander since I bought it used from Beamon and it was there. I’ve had it for almost two years and didn’t even know! Thank you!
Next time work with me, I love helping my channel viewers!
@@stevenwelchtoyota it’ll be a while before I buy another car but it’ll always be a Toyota. I have a ‘02 Solara and now the Highlander. Been working with M. Sadler for years!
My salesperson didn't tell me this when i bought my 2020 Highlander Platinum. I showed him it😂😂
It seems to be missed alot
You sir are a great Toyota community member. Thank you for sharing great information for Highlander owners.
I appreciate that!
I have a 2016 Highlander, I went to the garage right away also. Darn, I don't have a cover, but I do now know about that small cubby on the left corner is a bonus for me! Thanks!
Right on
Had my car for 2yrs and didn’t know this! Thank you 👏🏻
Beautiful
My 2012 base premium has it as well. Very useful but true, it’s a hidden gem.
Awesome
We purchased the 2020 Highlander Hybrid Platinum and knew about the tonneau cover but had never removed and installed it. Thank you for showing us how it’s done.😊
Happy to help
Thanks very much!! The dealer actually installed (2017) my cover. I don’t use it much so it’s buried in our garage somewhere!! Now if I can find it there’s a new home !!
Great
2010 I just got it, but it was in good condition. The cargo cover was there and in good shape. I found out and decided to look because of your video ! Thank you
Very nice!
I have a 2013 Toyota Highlander Plus and I still have the cover. When I purchased my vehicle it was still pulled out oh I brought Irene over a year ago. Love her to pieces 🥰
Thanks for sharing
I did not know it , until i watch your video, good info😊
Glad I could help i have a bunch on the highlander
Wow, I didn’t know. I have a 2017 Limited AWD I bought when brand new. This thing been sitting back there for 6 years and I didn’t realize it 😂
Thank you
Happy to help
Thank you. I have a new 2021 hybrid and love it. Nobody ever told me about this.
Glad to help!
Great overview. Really appreciate it
Glad it was helpful!
Aww man, you got me excited. I just bought a used 2014 limited and immediately ran out to check if the tonneau cover was there. It was not.
Then someone took it out. It would have came standard with it. Maybe reach out to the person you got it from if it was a person. If it was a dealer or auction then you just wont have it cause they didnt get it
We just bought a 23 platinum Highlander and there’s many things our sales man didn’t tell us including this. I was wonder what the purpose of this is as I’m writing this and you just stated it in the video! Hahah!! Thank you!!
Its crazy that alot of times the customer will know more than the salesman
Very true, when I purchased my 2022 Platinum I was unaware that it came with the cover. As a part of the negotiations requested one then discovered I already had it and cancelled the order. Apparently, they were unaware as well.
IT happens more than you know
I didn’t know I had it in my 2021 limited. Thanks!
Perfect
Thanks Steve !
I'm a mechanic of TOYOTA VIET NAM, I'm very happy to see your videos here.
I have alot that can help
@@stevenwelchtoyota oh that's really wonderful
I didn’t know. Good information.
Thanks
Have a 2012 that I've had for 4 years. Already knew about it and it's storage space. Not because of the salesman but because I was taught to make sure all the tire changing gear is there when you purchase a car.
Always a good thing to check
i have a 2013 Highlander and it has the exact same thing. Good to know they kept that tradition.
Beautiful!
Didn't know my XLE had this so went out in the dark to check. Now I can store my cover that I brought.
Nice
Bought my 2020 Hylander in February. I got very basic info from the salesperson and I did not know I had the cover! Thank you!
Happy to help
Thank you! Oh yeah! It is there! Beautiful Tonneau Cover
Awesome
Love my 2021 XLE. Same thumbprint blue as your demo
Beautiful!
W T H!!! Had no idea we had this! We were about to buy an aftermarket one too!!! Thanks for saving us some $$$
Awesome
I have a 2020 platinum hybrid. I knew I had it. My salesmen were great about going over the car with me.
There are a lot of good ones especially with Toyota but alot are new or dont care etc
I had NO idea I had this! Thank you!
Happy to help!
TY guy!! I didn’t know this and I checked mine and it was there. The dealer didn’t tell me about this.
Beautiful
I bought my Toyota highlander Limited in 2019 new and didnt know I had this!
Happy to help
Hi Steve, thank you for the video! I bought a 23 limited and will check to see if it has this cover. This is the first I’m hearing about it.
Hoping it’s there!
Should be
I just canceled my order from amazon. I looked and it was there. Thanks for the tip. Saved me some money.
Happy to help
My parents 2017 highlander and this video just reveal it to me wow....thanks again
Happy to help
Thank you. I have a 2021 and didn’t know it was there. 😎
Beautiful
Thanks! I had no idea the cono cover was there.
Glad I could help!
Fun video. My 2013 has the square side mount cut outs but alas, there was no cover. Just thought I’d check. Lol
It would normally have it on the upper trim levels
It's also in the 2nd gen 2008 to 2013, Limited trim models. My 2010 Highlander Limited has this.
Beautiful. Good to know
Thanks so much! I just watched this video and went and checked my wife’s car and there it was just sitting there!
Happy to help
Thanks , did not know I had this! Sales person did not tell me . Just bought 2days ago.
Most salesmen dont know lol
Thank you for the great tip. I would have never found out because I never RTFM (read the effing Manual) which is 2 inches thick!
Glad to help!
My manual is in French so I couldn’t read mine at lol
Awesome video and info Steve, I got a 2017 highlander limited certified I have owned it for about 3 months and I will be checking tomorrow if I have a gift under there ✌️✌️
It would have had it new
@@stevenwelchtoyota only had 12k miles when I bought it in august, I’ll find out Monday and will report ✌️
@@stevenwelchtoyota I finally checked my limited and yes I have the tano cover It’s black
@@neobx2 awesome
I have had my Highlander since May 2018. I never knew it. I wondered what that was. Now I know. Thanks.
Happy to help
If you can help me I am trying to get my second channel up to 1000 subscribers. Here is one of the videos on it. I hope you like it. th-cam.com/video/gGC6xQIHSzk/w-d-xo.html
@@stevenwelchtoyota Done
@@earlbowman1166 thank you a ton!
I previously had the 2013 Toyota Highlander and it hooked onto the back seat as well so that there is no visible gap between the seat and the cover. Now, my 2018 Highlander does not hook onto the back seat and there’s a visible gap where your stuff can be seen in that gap….why did they make it like that? Doesn’t make sense?!
The hilarious thing is I just came across this video while looking for an answer to another question...
I learned this FOUR DAYS AGO when I had a flat and needed to change my tire. I've had my 2019 since 2018. 😐
Most people never know
Thanks for the info! Mine 2022 xle dont have that too when I check after watching this video
No problem
Did not know. 2018, bought as 2nd owner Jan 2020. Just know learning about it. Don’t expect to use it, good to know.
Happy to help
I had a 2009 Highlander, XLE. It had a Cargo Cover , which I used! Traded it in for a 2015… NO Cover. I asked about it. Was told they weren’t doing them anymore. The Dark tint on back windows took the place of it. I doubted that. I have something that sounds like Golf Balls rolling around . Was hoping you were going to show me a hidden compartment that I could search! This car doesnt have the cover , but all the squares to insert one! Thanks for that info.
happy to help
I just got my Highlander and I love this feature. The 1st day I got it, I noticed it was for the cargo. Idk why hatchbacks and other SUVs don't have it. I rather carry it in my car where it's nicely stored away, than putting it somewhere in my garage
great point
I have been owning the 2021 Highlander Hybrid Limited for almost a year and came to know about this today 🙂👍
great
Awesome info!
Happy to help
Wow!! Thank you for this!!
You're so welcome!
I just bought a Highlander and nice little surprise 🎉
Nice 👍
Have it in my 2004, too. Use it all the time
Awesome
My 2013 has one too
great
The sales guy showed it to us when we bought ours in 2018.
Beautiful
I just bought a new 2022 Highland this week, and this is a happy surprise, although I haven’t been able to confirm that I have the cover.
do you have a limited or platinum?
Have a 2016 limited
Enjoy the cover BUT didn’t know about the storage area . Thanks
Glad to help
I got one of those in my 2015 XLE. I have had this XLE for 7 years.
beautiful
2014 we didn’t know.
Great
Yes I have the 2021 Limited Highlander and my salesperson went through the vehicle to show me this stored cover and all the rest of the options.
You had a good one
Will you go over what tools are there under the rear cover? My 2018 LTD was bought new but I noticed that some slots are empty and the salesman said all tools are there but there are empty slots.
this should help th-cam.com/video/f575FRD3N9E/w-d-xo.html
I just know that the place for the stick, I was about to put it in my home👍
I’ll put it back in it’s place thanks for the information
No problem 👍
Ahhh damn...I stored mine in the shed for the last 2 years. I feel like a complete tool 😂 Thanks for the tip.
