So several things with Toyota:
1. It seems they are hit hardest with supply chain issues. This year, for example, they made fewer hybrids than last. But, demand is high for them, and generally, dealers mark them up unless there is big local competition. I initially ordered new SIenna, and in Colorado Springs, dealers want $5,000 above MSRP, in Denver, they don't (which is an hour north).
2. HL is small! It was always a small SUV compared to the competition. New Honda Pilot is out, and it might be the biggest SUV in this category. So, I am waiting to see it in person. I am also waiting for the new Grand Highlander to see. According to Toyota, it is a clean sheet design, not just stretched current HL. So, if you have the luxury of waiting as I do, I would do that.
If I do not like both, going VW Atlas.
