Do you ever wonder how does a Toyota with almost 400,000 miles look like? In today’s video we inspect a single owner Toyota Highlander with almost 400,000 miles to see if it’s completely falling apart or it’s in driving condition.
Taking care of your car from the early days pays off in the later life of the car. This is what the owner of this Highlander is enjoying in his near 400,000 mile car.
They took care of it from day one and honestly even with all these miles it is in impressive condition needing only minor things very typical with a car of this age even if it had half the mileage.
Take care of your car and it will take care of you

My question is do you replace all the stuff wrong at this point? or get a new car?
This must be in a state with lots of salt on the roads.
Pile of rust. I wouldn't put any money in to it. Just drive it until it dies. To many miles.
A Datsun 120y motor would be the thing for it.
Sometimes tire pressure on awd vehicles can give some funny shaking or vibrations.
I am surprised how few car owners rustproof their cars and or trucks.
That POS car needs $5,000 in parts
Antifreeze, brakefluid, Trans fluid and filter, differentials, P/S fluid, should all be sucked out drained and flushed every 70 to 80K miles. No?
i have a toyota Innova 2006 make, i know what you are saying
German, American, Korean, French, Italian, and other car brands would be long dead at 400000 miles.
This is very timely. I have that same shudder/vibration on my 03 Highlander with 230k miles. Im sure its the driveshaft so i plan on having that replaced soon
Any vehicle with 400,000 relatively trouble-free miles with the original engine and transmission still intact has been a good car. These repairs are to be expected. They're moving parts, and no moving part will last forever. However, at this stage in it's life, I wouldn't put too much money into it, like he said, there really is no way to tell how close the transmission is to failing, and the engine as well.
What is the car care nut using for his oil changes? Factory filter and oil? Our 2012 Sienna has 157k and would love to hit the 300’s plus!
best car show on YouTube!! Honest and so infomative.
How about a video on how to change an alternator on the A25A-FKS. I have AllData and they want you to remove the cold air intake, the air cleaner assembly, the EFI Vacuum Sensor assembly and half of the front end of the car and this makes no sense to me. They also have what seem to be crazy procedures that they say are mandatory if you simply change the battery which include steering system zero point relearn and memorize steering angle neutral point.
The trick with toyota transmissions is change that transmisson fluid. No transmission has life time fluid. It's a lie. Change it every 60,000 mi. I learned the hard way.
It's all cheaper than buy another one
I ran my 2004 Rav over 400,000 and it was in better shape that that car. Mine had zero rust and didn't burn oil. I kept Lucus oil treatment in it always. I did have tranny probelms at 235,000. cost me 4,000. They say the transmission oil never needs changed . They were full of it. Other than that the car was very dependable. I traded it. We have only bought Toyotas and Lexus's. I'd consider a A Subaru however.
