What is a toyota highlander's average life?

My 2005 Highlander has 383,500 miles and going strong.

I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander. I bought it 3 years ago for $4000 or $5000. Think it had about 210,000 miles. Now it has 265,000. Still the best purchase I ever made. It’s had minor issues this past summer. I replaced the AC. It had issues When I bought the car and the dealership fixed it. Finally needed to be replaced when it crapped out the beginning of this summer. I can’t live with out AC in western Ma lol. Other then that I’ve had regular wear and tear. IE- breaks, rotors, oil changes and tranny flushed every 50,000 or so miles and of course tires. Also replaced so belts. January of this year (2020) I lost function of the back windows from the drivers seat. They’ll do down but not up unless I use the buttons in the back. Nothing to serious though. I’ll drive this beast to the ground. I plan on buying another one but a lot newer. This was my first SUV purchase. I’ll never go back to a car/sedan. Ever! Lol I’m hoping I’ll get at least 300,000 miles on it. That’s why I came to this page actually, to see how long others had lasted. I see my suv everywhere, same year I mean. So that’s always a hint that you have a trustworthy vehicle.

I have a 2007 with 313,000 on it currently. Runs great!

I have 2008 highlander limited w 265,000 miles and it still drives fairly well !!!! Toyota is only car I ever buy they are the most dependable w/ least problems along the way.

I have a 2003 highlander that I purchased brand new in 2002 and now it has almost 186,000 miles. No issues at all. Just routine services, oil changes every 5k miles, tires, brakes and rotors, transmission, coolant, power steering, and brake fluid at 90k miles intervals. Replaced timing belt, drive belts, thermostat, water pump, spark plugs 2x every 90,000 miles. Car runs great, its like new again.

Still have our 2002 Toyota Highlander @187.500K. Runs Great Looks Great Best Car Ever!

We still have our 2002 Highlander which we purchased in 2007. 175,000 miles. We have it serviced regularly but have not had any major issues. It is starting to chew up oil on long trips. I suppose that's to be expected.

Still driving my 2006 Highlander. 265000 miles, doesn’t use any oil, transmission is great too. Love it!

Bought 2003 limited new. Still drive everyday with over 310,000 miles!

First generation highlander is unbelievable! Some burn oil but I know a fix. It's the rear valve cover! Once and awhile there's a generation of models that just run great and never need major repairs...the corolla for example, now it's the highlander. I have an 02 that will hit the 400k mark soon, I think its 388 000 now, but seriously a great car all around, and I abuse my work cars! I would buy another one for sure....

We have a 2001Highlander Limited v6 4wd with 337,900 miles. Doesn't ask for anything but another ride. Original starter, Alternator, Radiator etc....Change oil every 3000 miles and tune up once a year. Did replace 02 sensors and all cats 2 years ago. Daily driver. Trans is great!

Have a 2003 Toyota Highlander Limited with 225,000 miles. Bought it with 34,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance, it’s been great. A smaller size than the newer models which I like.

I have a 2001 Highlander with 318,000 miles! Unfortunately it has wear and tear that require fixes that may cost more than its worth.

Have 2005 highlander runs good 300,000 miles, just a little noisy

My 2004 Highlander has 299,600. Driving it 500 miles each way next week ?.

My father has a 2005 2wd 4 cylinder that just turned 300,000 miles and still runs & looks great. Never had any problems, just normal routine maintenance. He claims that he has never had a transmission service (I know that's crazy). Yeah,he just told me that a few weeks ago.

We have a 2005 Toyota Highlander with 309,000+ miles on it. Looks and runs GREAT. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it, only routine maintenance, and radiator replacement late last year. Am hoping for her to last a couple more years, before I get a new one of the same model and make. Hands down the BEST car ever.

2008 Highlander Hybrid Limited, purchased with 150K, has 289K on it now. Smooth sailing with regular maintenance (fluids, filters, tires, pads/rotors, tires). Most expensive repairs were some exhaust and struts replacement. Debating whether to replace it with an EV or keep on driving.

I have a 2004 V6 Toyota Highlander, Ibkught it used in 2015 with 223,000 miles n it recently reached 400,000 miles! I love my Highlander! I recently changed the A/c n have the common issue of the back passenger window getting stuck going up. I drive it daily in rural Texas with no issues! Getting ready to change the timing belt as part of preventative maintenance. I have never changed it as car runs great!

Based on reported use experiences, the toyota highlander is one of the few vehicles where almost 20% of original owners are still driving it after 15 years. It's reported that the vehicle can last well beyond 300,000 miles will routine maintenance.

Still have my 2011 Highlander 4WD.120000 miles with NO problems, will get plugs and trans oil changed soon.

Have a 2006 with 285,000 miles - still running

I am still driving my 2011 Highlander with 145,000 miles and all scheduled maintenance. Ran great until this past month when one at a time I had to replace the alternator, front struts and oil hose. Hopefully now it will hang on for another year or so till I am ready to replace it. I have loved driving this vehicle!

Still drive my 2007 Highlander. 172k miles, some joints are noisy, but no major issues.

Still have my 2008 Highlander Sport 194K miles on it. AC stopped working since a mouse got in and chewed on some wires.

I’ve heard people put 500K miles on that car. According to Toyota forums on google, the lifespan of Highlander is around 350K miles with parts replacement in time and proper vehicle maintenances.

I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander that I purchased brand new in 2003 and now has almost 200k miles. This vehicle runs great - no issues at all. Just routine service maintenance: oil changes every 3k miles; coolant flush and transmission fluid drain, flush and replace every 15k miles; brake fluid, power steering fluid flush and replace every 30k miles; replaced timing belt, water pump, spark plugs and drive belts at 95k miles intervals; always replace brake pads when they're 1/4 left so the rotors didn't have to be resurfaced.

I have a 2001 Highlander which has served me well for 20 years as it's only owner. It's been a pleasure to have owned it all these years. With a heavy heart am trading "Old Blue" in for a 2021 Venza today.

I have a 2007 with 89,000 runs awesome!

I came across this forum, and just had to add my own story here. I have a 2002 4-cyl Highlander, and it's still running great at 240K! I keep it regularly serviced, but no real major problems. I'd love to keep it going to 300K and beyond.

I have a 2006 I just bought a few months ago with 205k now has 213k I love it !! Simple well built suv that has plenty of power and looks great !! I hope to get many years out of this one so I can get a gen 2 for my next car

I purchased a 2009 toyota highlander limited with 225,000 miles. Since then I've had no problems, nearing 240,000. Still runs great! Although I will replacing the sway bar links, and balls joints.

My 2017 Highlander hybrid has ~100K mi., 0 problems and $0 to repair (oil changes and lube joints) check back in in another 100K

Driving my 2013 Highlander with 121,000. Runs great. Replaced the water pump at 100,000. Saved Money did it myself. Other than that runs great.
