My 2012 Highlander just hit a big milestone…

She just hit 195,000 miles yesterday, so I gave her the ultimate car wash to celebrate!

Haha she’s looking great for her age!

My 2013 twin here…

Can anyone confirm this?

I test drove a 2012 and a 2013 back-to-back this week, both SE trim. The 2012 had leather and a sunroof, while the 2013 was cloth.

Even though both were awesome compared to my GMC Sierra, I swear the 2012 felt smoother to drive. The 2013’s transmission felt different, like it wasn’t as quick. Did anyone else notice this?

Was the 2013 a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder? The seats should’ve been the same on SE trim models.

It was the same V6 GR-FE engine. I know they offered both 5-speed and 6-speed transmissions for the second gen. I couldn’t track every shift during the test drive, but the 2012 seemed to handle the power better with its shifts.
