2009 Toyota Highlander Limited 4WD

The 2009 Toyota Highlander Limited 4WD offers the traction of full-time four-wheel drive, as well as standard seven-passenger seating, along with all the standard amenities and options of the front-wheel-drive Limited trim. Though capable in mud and snow, bear in mind that the ’09 Highlander Limited 4WD is not equipped to go too far off the beaten path.

The ’09 Highlander Limited 4WD, in keeping with its status as the top-of-the-line trim, packs the 3.5-liter V6 powerplant, along with its accompanying five-speed auto-manual transmission with hill holder and descent control. This matchup puts out 270 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque, enough to tow 5,00 pounds when properly equipped, at an EPA-estimated 17/23 mpg.
