2008 Toyota Highlander Sport 4x4 Road Test

Toyota's new-for-2008 Highlander SUV carries the family Toyota truck look while modernizing the popular model at the same time. In a market full of crossover look-alikes, it's nice to see something that stands out. The sport package equipped tester featured sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch wheels, special badging, and a few other body add-ons. It's all tough, rugged and masculine at first glance, and the front carries some scowling attitude which was missing from the last generation machine. A planted, solid stance is imparted from any angle.
