To me the BIG reason to get the QX60 over the Pathfinder if its a vehicle your family is going to be using is the availability of safety features like PCS, backup collision warning/intervention, blind spot collision intervention, etc, etc that you can't get on the Pathfinder. I'd replace the theatre package with those options personally.

Just purchase a 2014 White Highlander wit almond leather. Limited model AWD. Got coach seats second row. I'm very pleased and much improvement over the the last generation. I love the grill, makes it look a lil more meaner. The black trim looks great on white especially the front lip hahah .. Only dislike is the taillights sticks out a little too much and wish it came wit black leather on white. Prefect for my family, three kids (4&3 yrs old & 4 month baby)

Join me as I check out the 2014 Highlander. In this video I test how well the 7 and 8 passenger Highlander handles child seats and we talk a little about cargo room.

The pursuit of F
Same here on considering the Highlander. I love the RX (heck I bought three), but the fit and finish of the new Highlander Limited/Platinum and promises of a smooth, low NVH and refined drive are tempting, all for 10K less than a similarly equipped RX. Plus the macho Grand Cherokee styling and "RX-like" rear lights are growing on me fast. Looking forward to your review in particular ride comfort, handling, and NVH.
Was at the Toyota dealer today incognito (not ready to deal with sales reps just yet
), took some (crappy) pics of the interior base LE. Lots of soft-touch high-quality-textured materials. Nice interior even the base model, but Limited all the way for me.

Hmm... Minuscule gripe but what possessed Toyota to up the setup button on the left side and the phone button on the right side, father away from the driver? I'm liking what I see with this new Highlander though. It is definitely back in the race to hold the crossover crown.

^^^Correct Spywolf. Even other buttons like Voice Command button. Has all the same functions like my RX.

My mom is looking at the new Highlander real hard to replace her '04 Pilot. we really like the Limited 2wd model, but we don't like the 2nd row captain chairs, wish Limited offers an option to swap them for the bench seats, i know the XLE has that, but she really likes the panoramic roof of the Limited. i told her to hold off on it until the new Pilot comes out. supposedly it will feature MDX's Earth Dream direct inject V6 and 6 speed auto (i know Honda is late to the game, but still worth the wait).
