The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is setting a new standard in mid-size SUV luxury with its striking design, comfortable and spacious cabin, and smooth ride. All-new for 2024, the Grand Highlander easily transitions from downtown shopping trips to weekends in the mountains. And it offers plenty of standard convenience, tech, and driver assistance features, adding safety and fun to every journey. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Basics The Grand Highlander considers everyone's comfort, giving third-row passengers large windows and plenty of legroom. The second-row seats are available as standard captain's chairs, or an optional sliding and reclining bench seat, so you can travel with 7 or 8 people. Second-row retractable window sunshades keep the sun out when it's too bright, and three-zone auto climate control gives driver, front passenger, and rear-seat passengers their choice of cabin temperature. The cargo area holds 20.6 cu. ft. of luggage and expands up to 97.5 cu. ft. with the second- and third-row seats folded. And you can access that cargo space easily with a standard power liftgate, or available hands-free liftgate. Under the hood, the Grand Highlander has a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine that produces 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard front-wheel drive gives the Grand Highlander an estimated 28 MPG highway, while available all-wheel drive produces 26 MPG highway. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 The Grand Highlander comes with 7 advanced safety and driver assistance features as part of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) is an innovative feature included in this package, which uses a camera and radar to assist the driver. PDA can adjust steering or brake in a variety of situations, like around curves, when you're following a vehicle too closely, or when there's a pedestrian or bicyclist that poses a collision risk. Other standard advanced safety features include a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to warn you when there's a vehicle nearby or approaching. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is also standard on the Grand Highlander, helping you stay in your lane with warnings and corrective steering. Convenient Technology Technology is present throughout the Grand Highlander, including cutting-edge convenience features like Digital Key capability. With this feature and a 1-year trial subscription to Remote Connect, you can use your smartphone as a key fob. You can also use your phone to remotely start or stop the engine or locate your parked Grand Highlander on a map. Your Grand Highlander's 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen also connects wirelessly to your smartphone using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This connection enables you to display your phone's directions on the large, clear screen, or listen to your favorite music and podcasts on the 6-speaker audio system or available 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system. With so many great features, the Grand Highlander is the perfect vehicle for families of all sizes.

It's a regular morning and you head out to your car as you do each day. You go to start it as usual, but nothing happens. No matter how many times you try to get it started, it acts like the battery is totally dead, and it might be. Let's take a look at some of the signs that you need a new car battery from your Toyota dealer. 4 Signs Your Toyota Needs a New Car Battery From Your Toyota Dealer 1. Your Car Isn't Starting There are lots of car problems that stop your car from starting, and a dead battery is one of them. An easy way to figure out if your battery is the issue is by jumpstarting the car. A car with a battery that's on the way out should run after it's been jumpstarted, but it may need to be jumpstarted next time you need to drive, too, so you should replace the battery. If your car can't be jumpstarted, then another component involved in the start-up is the issue, such as the starter motor. If your car can be jumpstarted but turns back off a few minutes later, then your alternator is probably faulty. 2. Your Headlights Aren't Working Properly Headlights do get dimmer over the years, but headlight dimming can also be caused by battery problems. The headlights might also flicker, or they could go between being too dim and really bright. All of these issues can mean the power supply to the headlights is insufficient or fluctuating, and that's usually caused by a faulty battery. 3. Your Accessories Are Malfunctioning Modern cars have a whole lot of functions that are powered by the battery. The dashboard, infotainment system, and basically any part that heats up or moves is powered by the battery. If your power windows keep sticking, if your seats are no longer power-adjustable, or if your heated seats aren't working, then you might have a problem with the battery. You may even notice the lights on your dashboard getting dimmer or flickering. 4. Your Battery Is Corroded You may notice corrosion on the battery before the battery starts giving you trouble. Corrosion appears as white crystal-like stuff or blue/green powder on the metal part of the battery. It's caused by battery acid leaking out. This corrosion can be cleaned away with some baking soda and vinegar, and there's a chance that the battery won't leak any further. If you notice the corrosion has come back, then the battery is leaking again and needs to be replaced. Come by Peppers Toyota for a new battery any time you need one. Call us at 731-642-3901 to let us know what the problem is.

An overheating engine can lead to some of the most expensive repair jobs a driver can face. For this reason, you never want your engine's cooling system to fail. The radiator plays a primary role in keeping the coolant nice and cold, so let's take a look at four signs that your radiator needs professional attention. If you have any of these problems, visit your local Toyota dealership right away for radiator repair. Does Your Toyota Need a Radiator Repair? Leaking Coolant Coolant is a brightly colored fluid that's hard to miss. If you ever see a vivid red, blue, pink, yellow, or green liquid puddling under your car, then you have a coolant leak. If you're still in doubt that it's coolant, you can always crouch to smell it. Coolant has an oddly sweet scent. Most coolant leaks occur around the radiator. At best, a cap or hose connection will be a little loose, in which case you can simply tighten it up or replace the hose. At worst, your radiator has corroded or cracked, in which case you'll need a new radiator. Rust-Colored Coolant It's easy to spot rust on the outside of a radiator. It's not so easy when the rust is on the inside. Fortunately, modern coolant has strong anti-rust properties. But if you allow your coolant to grow too old, these properties can sometimes fade, and rust will start to form inside the radiator. A buildup of internal rust will stain the coolant a rusty brown color. So it's a good idea to check your coolant reservoir regularly. Make sure the coolant is at a good level and also check that the color isn't brown. Damaged Radiator Fins Small rocks or debris from the road can sometimes fly up into the front grill of your car and damage the radiator. The parts most likely to become bent or broken by these impacts are the delicate fins of the radiator. These protruding fins play a key role in dissipating heat and cooling the coolant. If a fin becomes bent or broken, the radiator will no longer function properly. It might even cause a leak. You'll most likely need a new radiator. Overheating Engine If you don't notice radiator trouble early on, your engine will start to overheat. You'll see the temperature gauge on your instrument panel shoot up to dangerous levels. If you suspect overheating, pull over right away, allow your engine to cool, and check your radiator for signs of damage. How a Toyota Dealer Inspects Your Radiator When you have a technician examine your radiator, they'll first flush and refresh the coolant. They'll inspect everything for signs of corrosion or leaks. They'll also run pressure checks on the radiator's thermostat, cap, fan, and other components. Any problematic parts will be promptly repaired or replaced. Have your radiator checked today by friendly, helpful technicians at Peppers Toyota. We're a well-established local dealership with great cars and great service.
