Why the Toyota Highlander
SUV’s have long been a favorite of ski moms who want to head to the mountains with the benefit of four-wheel drive and plenty of space.. Ski Moms Fun member, Katie Saidla says, “We love our Highlander. It’s easy on the wallet and can cart four of us plus all our ski gear inside.”
The 2021 Toyota Highlander has a MSRP $35,085. The SUV gets up to 21 city / 29 highway and can fit from 7-8 passengers. New to this SUV body is the option to upgrade to the XSE, designed for people who need SUV practicality but really miss driving sport sedans, the Highlander XSE combines bold exterior design with more agile driving reflexes.
