Originally Posted by billt460 Before you get into how much to replace the batteries, how hard is it, can you do it yourself, and all of that. Compare the mileage stats. From what I could find a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid gets 33 MPG city / 28 MPG highway. The 2006 gas only version gets 22...

Yeah I would not worry buying it. Failing on the traction battery is quite rare. The big item is the inverter recall. Some people reported leaking coolant of the hybrid system and some reported the coolant pump failing. Other than that its a great ride, it drives like any other car once you get...

Just for musing. No significant value here. I was traveling in Taiwan a few months ago and was at the department store. I thought I would photograph for your musing. Most vehicles are smaller and more scooters on the road compared to the US. *edit-Sorry the pictures are to read dues to down...

Originally Posted by paulri If I buy a used hybrid (2006 Toyota Highlander, with the 3.3L toyota gas engine), what happens when the hybrid battery goes out, or if the electric engine itself goes on the blink? Do these have to be replaced, or could I just use the 3.3L gas engine, and ignore the...

Don't give up Edge. I am a firm believer of leaving the world better than I entered. I try my best to "be best". Often my wife and other think I am overly nice even if it means opening my self to danger. But I believe if we wall up completely to protect ourselves then the world becomes worse...

Wow, I never knew how big the drama is over DI. I was reading up on the new Honda CRV with the 1.5L Turbo DI which some has indicated fuel in the oil. I am a fan of trying new tech to improve economy but also understand it takes time to develop. Hopefully they (all brands) figure it out...

I think for regular cars stop and go traffic equates to harsh conditions due to the accumulated idle times. This maybe way different definition for Toyotas hybrids. The system is a piece of art that i still have trouble understanding sometimes. (How does that power transfer from the ice through...

I switched to a gel seat and my rear still hurts. I am tempted to get one of the extra wide seats. https://www.amazon.com/Bikeroo-Oversized-Comfort-Comfortable-Replacement/dp/B01MAYMF14 If you do not bike enough you do not build the "muscles" to hold against the normal seats.

"best" will be subjective. In your case, for small amount of welding it will probably do. Just need to spend more time to grind welds clean. Usually best and harbor freight will not run in the same sentence.

If it is the same as my Rx hybrid, you should use the toyota techstream cable and software. The brakes is controlled by electric pumps. The procedure is to pull the abs fuse for the front, the software then pumps the fluid out. The rear brakes was done like a normal car. Some reported the brake...

On Sunday so the open flea market is still going on the east side of the highway and Roosevelt. You can grab some pretty good tacos. Glad you are having fun.
