The 2006 Toyota Highlander is available with four-cylinder or V6 power, and a choice of front-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive. The standard Highlander with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive performs well around town and on the open highway, delivering responsive performance when merging into highway traffic. Equipped with the larger 3.3-liter V6 and all-wheel drive, the Highlander offers strong power and secure handling in nasty weather.

The Lowdown on the 2006 Toyota Highlander
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Good engineering. Safe , Reliable and good at everything. Conservative SUV.
Cons: Supersensitive steering. Low towing capacity. Conservative. Same as 2005 model.
Bottom Line:
Better than I expected. Its a generalist SUV if you want to cover all your bases and not excel at anything. Worth a serious look.
