2004 Toyota Highlander V6 with 3rd row seating and a tow package!

2004 Toyota Highlander FWD Description

For sale is my beloved 2004 Toyota Highlander FWD with a 3rd row seating (total of 7 seats!) and a tow package with trailer break controller. I am a 100% positive feedback seller. I have sold personal vehicles here in the past and I have stellar reviews from the buyers based on very accurate descriptions. This is my personal vehicle and I guarantee it! You can rest assured that it will be exactly as described. The reason I am selling unwillingly at that, is because my family has grown and I want to tow a large travel trailer with a larger V8 SUV I bought.
Description: Made 100% in Japan, just like a Lexus, this is one of the most reliable and problem-free mid size SUVs on the market. The power train of the 2004 Highlander is bullet proof and will easily get you to 300K miles with good maintenance and regular fluid changes. This vehicle is in Very Good condition. Power windows, power driver seat, fog lights, roof rails, rear spoiler, CD player, auto adjusted mirrors, security system. Mechanically it is in excellent condition with absolutely no issues whatsoever. It runs strong, engine is quiet and the ride is very smooth. It handles beautifully and it is a pleasure to drive. Breaks are strong and have plenty of life left. The AC blows cold, heating works great. Inside, the car is very clean. I am a clean freak and I washed the interior, including all seating, with professional equipment just recently and it shows. Never pets in this car. No spills or dirt. Smells nice and clean. People who appreciate a clean vehicle will like this one. Comes with a spare and everything you need to change a tire as originally provided from manufacturer in the trunk. Third row folds out, seats 2, or folds down and the trunk is huge. You get even more space with the second row folded down completely. One key and one remote. I have custom fit Husky front row floor liners available for additional $50 at time of pick up. Well worth it, they do an amazing job protecting the front row and fit perfectly covering the floor completely. I paid $120 for them.
History and Maintenance:I am the 2nd owner. Purchased this vehicle as a Toyota Certified car from Toyota dealer in Fremont, CA. 100% California car, never seen snow or rough road. Always well maintained. Regular full synthetic oil changes. All fluids changed on a regular basis per specs. At 100K miles replaced timing belt and toyota original water pump (which was not required) as well as all belts. Also at 100K installed new OEM spark plugs, good until 200K. AT fluid was changed with original toyota fluid at 120K and is good till 200K. At 120K installed new Michelin tires ($800), should last you another 30K miles. Tires rotated and balanced on a regular basis. Never had any leaks whatsoever. Very clean engine under the hood. All fluids are up to specs. Just installed a brand new Interstate battery which will last you at least 5 yrs. Oil (full synthetic) and filter changed recently, good for 6K miles. New engine air filter and cabin filter also done recently. The vehicle is good to go with no maintenance items required for the next 40,000 miles, just change oil.
Tow Package and Break Controller: I intended to tow a small trailer but we did one short CA trip only. Never towed otherwise, so no strain on transmission. It has installed a tow package with break controller with both 7 prong and 4 prong receivers! You can tow up to 3500 lbs with this Highlander. Tow a boat, a small trailer, various small travel trailers/campers such as Casita, Scamp, Teardrop, A-frame, etc. Many options out there. The tow package includes a Prodigy break controller that controls the electric breaks of a trailer. This works great. You are getting a tow package worth about $1000 for no additional cost. Even if you never tow, the convenience of having a tow hitch and being able to rent a small moving trailer from U-haul or to rent equipment and tow it home, is great.
Deficiencies: See pictures. Some scuffs/scratches on the spoiler. Some discoloration on the front grill. Front bumper has two cracks. Central storage console inside would not close. Missing cover from small storage space next to cup holder. All minor things.
Bid with confidence! I am 100% positive feedback personal seller. This is my personal reliable vehicle in great shape and I guarantee it!
