The wife is looking around for a new SUV and Consumer's Reports sure writes up the Toyota Highlander in glowing terms. It looks like it has a few more creature comforts than the nearly equal size 4Runner and the 3.5 engine gets better gas mileage than the 4.0 in the 4Runner with more horsepower. As I understand it the 4Runner is built on a truck frame while the Highlander is unibody construction. Probably AWD or 4wd makes more sense up here in the north than the two wheel drive versions. The Highlander hybrid V6 version gets 25 mpg overall which sure isn't bad for an SUV. Both of those Toyota's are smaller than our current GMC Acadia which I keep telling her isn't broken yet at 120,000 miles. Opinions appreciated.
