2018 Toyota Highlander for Sale near Merriam, KS

Above: SE AWD shown in Midnight Black Metallic
When it comes to consistency, the Highlander is always a safe bet. If you want power and agility, you’ll find both there too. For these reasons and many more, the 2018 Toyota Highlander should be your vehicle of choice. With such a comfortable interior and a powerful drive train, your drives on- and off-road will be a blast. At Molle Toyota, we want to show you all of the reasons that you’ll love the 2018 Highlander in person.
For an SUV, the Highlander certainly does a great job of saving you gas money. The standard 4-cylinder engine has a fuel rating of 20/24 MPG cty/hwy1. To get out a little more power with a little less fuel, upgrade to the available V6 engine for 21/27 MPG cty/hwy1 – so don’t forget to occasionally fill your tank up! The standard trim comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the SE and Limited trims come with 8-speed automatic transmissions, so either way, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride through tough weather and terrain.
The Highlander’s engine and drivetrain are built to make your life easy and comfortable, and so is the interior. With a standard integrated backup camera2 with projected path, you’ll make quick work of parking in tight spots or backing out of your driveway safely. When it comes to enhancing your awareness, this SUV doesn’t stop there. The 4.2-inch color LCD Multi-Information Display in the meter cluster shows you an odometer, your current and average fuel economy, your recommended cruising range, and an ECO Driving Indicator. With this kind of information, you’ll always be prepared, both for short, routine trips and long ones. For some enhanced comfort, add the leather-trimmed front- and second-row seats. This option comes with heated front seats so that you stay warm on those cold winter mornings, and its 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat allows you to totally customize your driving experience so that you never end up with a sore back.
Despite the comfort and power of the 2018 Toyota Highlander, you’ll always feel safe and prepared for anything. With Toyota Safety Sense™ P3, you’ll get things like a Pre-Collision System4 with Pedestrian Detection5, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist6, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control7, and more. All of these functions help protect you from the various dangers of driving. For example, the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist6 will notify you audibly and visually any time you get uncomfortably close to a lane marker. If you start to cross over, the SUV will make minute adjustments to help keep you in your lane.
To learn everything about the Highlander, come talk to our knowledgeable staff at Molle Toyota. Before we offer you a great price on a new vehicle, we want to make sure that your test drive experience is convenient.

“ 2/13/26: I stopped by Molle Toyota to find out what could be done to repair paint transfer to frt. driver side of my Prius (pale yellow garage door frame paint on Sea Glass Pearl finish of Prius). Donovan Dial, service consultant, assisted me and asked Shawn Elliott (sp.?), shop manager, to speak with me. Shawn solved my paint transfer problem while I was there for a short time. I was so very pleased and grateful. Thank you, Shawn & Donovan! There is a concept, Customer Delight, which to my way of thinking surpasses Customer Service; Molle Toyota demonstrates it marvelously well ... once again and time after time! Kudos, Molly Toyota team. ”

“ The salesman Z or Zeiad was the main reason we bought a car from this place. Had it not been for how great he was we would have just looked around. ”
“ I would like to start off this review by saying the overall buying experience with Brandon was very easy. No pressure to buy a warranty i didn't want, no sneaker dealer add on, and an reasonable doc fee that was expected. I did however have a bit of an issue with communication of an issue we had with the windshield. When we arrived to purchase the vehicle we were informed that there was a chip in the windshield. This seemed odd since that was never disclosed prior to us filling out the credit application, and when we showed up we were informed that the chip had just happened, which was total BS. They said they would fix the chip and when we show up for our scheduled tiime we get a bit of run around and were then told the person that does wind shields called in sick. If there was proper communication then we would have been informed prior to us driving an hour one way. We then rescheduled the service and when we go in they give us the runaround again talking about they would on fill the chip and you would still be able to see it. After some more runaround and not receiving a call from a manager to find a solution, we called and got the issue resolved with a windshield replacement. All in all they made it right but the lack of communication and what appeared to be dishonesty left a sour taste in my mouth. ”
It looks like I am going to be the only one with a bad
“ It looks like I am going to be the only one with a bad review. My salesman Todd Heston seemed like the typical stereotype salesman put me off when I asked questions told let’s get this going and then we will get to that, well we didn’t get to that so not sure when we were went to look at my trade and I didn’t see it again until I talked to the finance manager who was a great guy. Anyway Todd put my old tag on the truck I purchased I didn’t give it much thought at the time because it took so long I was just ready to get out of there. I believe I am driving around illegally with tags that don’t belong to the vehicle they are on. Anyway I guess Molle Toyota can’t afford to spring for a temporary tag. Thanks Todd I have told everyone I know if they go to Molle Toyota to make sure they stay away from Todd Heston! ”
