Road trips are something my family always looks forward to. We love to venture off and explore new places from time to time. It’s especially great when you have the perfect mode of transportation. Opting for the 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Max Platinum made our recent journey to Rhode Island even more enjoyable. A road trip to New England is always a delight, and we couldn’t wait to get on the road.

The Grand Highlander has ample space, offering all the essentials for a group or family embarking on a road trip.
The Grand Highlander features captain seats in the back row and an optional third row that can accommodate up to seven passengers. Backseat passengers can adjust the temperature and benefit from ample cup/bottle holders and charging ports. Not to forget, the third row offers plenty of space and comfort. It’s especially great when you have the perfect mode of transportation like the 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Max Platinum.
Here’s an inside look at the Grand Highlander.
The Grand Highlander hybrid model is gas efficient.
Thankfully, we had beautiful weather driving to Rhode Island. It took about three hours to get there. The ride was smooth and quiet and I felt safe on the road. It’s a very comfortable vehicle (and a great minivan alternative). We didn’t have to stop for gas until much later the next day. With its EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined and 364 horsepower with 400 lb.-ft. of torque, the Grand Highlander Hybrid helps you maximize your road trip adventures while bringing the fun along.

We had a wonderful long weekend touring parts of Rhode Island.
We explored a lot in a few days. From historic places to beaches, mansions, restaurants and shops by the water and more. Newport is a favorite and we hope to visit again in the Fall one day. Have you been?
