2017 LE Plus V6 AWD
 I am in regional Sales and generally replace my Highlanders every three years or so.  My first was a 2004.   I traded my black 70k mi 2014 XLE AWD for a 2017 gray/black LE Plus AWD.   Why the LE Plus over another XLE?  Well, the LE Plus has the features that I use/like the most on the road- power seat, leather wrapped wheel, upgraded audio (excellent sound quality), power lift gate with flipper window, 3 zone auto climate control.  After negotiating my best deal among 3 dealers, the LE Plus was 4K lessthan the XLE (you recoup some of the XLE cost when you sell, though).  The feature that I missed the most initially was keyless entry and go.  This is my first car in 15 years without a sunroof(which I don't really miss).  Really like my LE Plus - I added bodyside moldings, rear bumper protector and all weather mats.  It came with Michelin tires and the ride quality is superior to the deuhler HLs.  The safety sense is a great system, and the lane keeping feature is really neat.  I also like the auto dimming headlamps.   Overall, this Highlander is very comfortable for my 6'2" frame and I would not hesitate to recommend it- its very reliable and has consistently high resale value.  The quality of the interior materials feels superior to most of its competitors.  I did look at the 2017 Pilot, which is larger, but the seat mounted armrests were uncomfortable and a deal breaker for me.  The interior of the Highlander is much nicer.
