There are plenty of midsize crossover SUVs worthy of owning, but when you combine the 2012 Toyota Highlander crossover’s wide model range, exceptional resale value and strong owner-satisfaction figures, it gets a bit harder to justify buying anything else.
If you need a crossover or SUV that can be taken off-road, or that can tow more than 5,000 pounds, a Toyota 4Runner or Dodge Durango with a HEMI V8 might be a better choice.
