The Highlander is a car at the end of the day with an SUV body - as the other poster said you want the FJ or 4runner. The Highlander/Kluger shares the Toyota Camry platform. Would you take a Camry off roading? no.

NO, if you want an off-roader look at the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its a much better vehicle. I recently was in one doing mild offroading and it was so smooth I fell asleep. Keep the tire pressure at the recommended level otherwise I hear its a pain to drive. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Common problems with Toyotas are plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that dosent happen by accident.

in case you like all that area and characteristic a boat to tow then the Seqouia is your ultimate wager. regardless of the undeniable fact that the Highlander will seat 5 very certainly (7 in a pinch), have plenty extra useful gas mileage, has extra useful coping with and standard driving dynamics. The Seqouia additionally includes a extra robust value than the Highlander. in case you purchase an 06 style, Toyota supplies a $3,000 rebate on all ultimate 06 fashions.

Highlanders are good for snow and loose gravel type of surfaces. They can maintain good traction in most situations. If your looking for a rock crawler I suggest that you look into the 4Runner or new FJ Cruiser. I've got a 4Runner and I'm very happy with mine.
