2005 Toyota Highlander

The Toyota Highlander has become the best-selling vehicle of its type, a car-based midsize sport-utility vehicle. Its independent suspension is set up for comfort and ride quality as a priority. The 2005 Toyota Highlander offers a choice of four-cylinder or V6, with front-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive.

Getting in and out of this highlander is easy due to the relatively low floor height. Its flexible interior makes it easy to various combinations of people and cargo. Seating for five comes standard, with an optional third-row seat to carry up to seven passengers.

The Highlander offers a relatively soft, smooth ride for an SUV and the interior is unusually quiet and free of wind noise and engine vibration. The base model is equipped with front-wheel drive and it performs well around town and on the open highway, delivering responsive performance when merging into highway traffic. The highlander offers strong power and secure handling in nasty weather.
