919-872-1999The Toyota Highlander is one of the most popular midsize SUVs in America, offering a versatile blend of comfort, safety, and reliability. Since its introduction in 2001, it has appealed to Raleigh families, commuters, and adventure seekers alike. You’ll see them everywhere—from navigating downtown traffic to hauling gear to Falls Lake.
Known for its refined ride, spacious interior, and available hybrid powertrains, the Highlander is built to handle daily life with ease. Many owners keep them for well over 200,000 miles thanks to Toyota’s solid engineering. At Creech Import Repair, we’ve worked on Highlanders across all generations, diagnosing common issues quickly and keeping them road-ready with expert repairs.
In addition to daily commuting, the Highlander’s all-wheel-drive availability and roomy cargo area make it a popular choice for road trips, camping, and even light towing. This versatility means they experience a wide range of driving conditions — from city stop-and-go traffic to long highway miles — so proactive maintenance is key to preserving performance and preventing costly repairs.
