Toyota Highlander weight

Toyota Highlander curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier Highlander may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Toyota Highlander may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Toyota Highlander was produced in 2003 with a weight of 3485 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2018 with 4655 lbs pounds in curb weight.

Explore the data below and compare how other Toyota Highlander body mass parameters like gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and payload capacity changed between the generations.
