The 2011 Toyota Highlander for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Toyota Highlander for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2011 Toyota Highlander, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 186 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, structure and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Its combined rating is 8.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. Expect about $13.18 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Highlander in everyday use
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Who the Highlander suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Highlander tells you more than any review. Rent the Highlander for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Highlander on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $131.80 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Want a price?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Toyota Highlander from us first.
