Rumor has it that new Highlander will be a longer three-row vehicle. So it will be pretty much the same as the Pilot. Why not to take Pilot if, as you said, there are plenty of good deals to be had?Currently the Toyota Highlander is at the top of my list but waiting for them to announce the 2020 model .... big redesign should give me a choice of great deal on 2019 or fair deal on 2020 with all the improvements.
