Overview & Reviews

For 2004, a larger 3.3-liter V6 replaces the 3.0-liter engine, resulting in 10 extra horsepower for a total of 230. Additionally, a fold-flat third-row seat (for two passengers) is now optional on base models and standard on the Limited. To keep the extra passengers content in back, a rear DVD entertainment system is available on Limited models. On the safety front, all Highlanders now come with an electronic stability control system and a tire-pressure warning system, while side curtain airbags for the first and second rows are optional across the board. Rounding out the changes are freshened exterior styling, new seat fabric, new instrument and door panel trim and a 5-hp boost for the base four-cylinder engine (now rated at 160).

• Seats up to seven, carlike ride and handling, smooth and powerful V6 engine, fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine, lots of safety features.

• Gets expensive quickly, limited towing and off-road ability, bland personality.

  By Jokars - July 21 - 2:00 am

  As a short woman I find visibility excellent. It drives like a car and is very comfortable with lots of pep to get on and off the expressway.

  Lorettas Highlander Limited AWD Review - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By Loretta - July 21 - 2:00 am

  After having driven Toyotas since 1979 I have found them all to be totally reliable. The Highlander is a perfect size. It doesnt sit up as high as other SUVs. So it is easy for me to get in and out of...Im 5 feet tall. Being a Toyota fan I love everything about my Highlander.

  Highlander Limited 4WD - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By Sam - June 20 - 8:10 am

  This is a great vehicle. Fuel efficiency with good power performance and fun features made this a good choice for me. I needed the room and convenience of an SUV with 3rd row without the need to tow. I travel in field sales so comfort was essential but I also wanted some extras that were available on the Toyota at and affordable purchase & operating price. The navigation system is cool but complicated at times and is tied in to the audio & AC making them the same. The accelerator has a "hair trigger" and takes some getting use to you will experience lunges at low speed until then. The retractable trunk cover was a bad after thought. Certainly not enough to give bad marks to the Highlander.

  2004 is a greatly improved - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By ARFARLE - May 28 - 10:00 am

  I owned a 2001 Highlander Fwd 6 cylinder. Liked the car but not the engine. The 2004 is WONDERFUL! I cant believe the quality of the drive has improved so much. The handling is better and the third row seat is great. My six foot tall son sat in the third row seat and said it was comfortable. The only thing I dont like is the gas mileage is not as good as my previous Highlander.

  The Best - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By Zvlan - May 2 - 6:33 pm

  I have owned many SUVs or what they used to call 4 wheel drives from 1960 Jeeps to all types of Toyotas. This Highlander is by far the best I ever owned. I was going to buy a new one but Im afraid with the new look for the Highlander this new one would never live up to its predecessor. I am probably wrong and I do plan to buy when my payments end.
