2002 Toyota Highlander Road Test
2001 was a banner year for the Toyota truck team, having brought the new full-size Sequoia, compact RAV4 and Tacoma Double Cab to market. Add to this refinements made to the remaining truck line-up and the launch of another all-new model is an amazing feat. The Highlander shares underpinnings with the Lexus RX300 (derived from the Camry/ES300). That said I found it difficult to see any trace of the Lexus model in the Highlander's exterior styling and only subtle similarities inside with the exception of the center dash and console area.
