2023 Toyota Highlander XLE 4 cyl. turbo with 34K miles. Wind Chill Pearl paint I've owned this car since 10/31/2025, so it's been a month and a half.

Understanding the Context

I have not experienced the common failure points discussed in this forum (transmission, lift gate struts) yet so I will not comment on those... The Highlander Platinum has it but you can't get it in any trim of the Grand Highlander. The Rav4 used to offer it a few years ago, but Toyota deleted it as an option. Toyota offered it in the previous generation Camry Hybrid- but only top-level XLE/XSE models with the highest option package added.
