2018 Toyota Highlander for Sale near DeKalb, IL
Few SUVs come as well-equipped as the 2018 Toyota Highlander. For that reason, the best way to learn about everything that this amazing vehicle has to offer is to make the trip to Anderson Toyota and take it for a test drive. While you’re here, our staff can answer all of your questions and explain the Highlander’s features, and we’d be happy to walk you through the financing process. If you have any questions before you hop on Lincoln Highway and come visit us, give us a call at 866-311-2174 or send us a message via the contact form below.
The Highlander is an excellent family vehicle, so it’s important that it’s safe. Thankfully, this SUV comes with the stellar safety features that Toyota includes in all of their vehicles. For instance, you get the comprehensive Star Safety System™, which includes things like Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control1, Traction Control, an Anti-Lock Brake System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Brake Assist2, and Smart Stop Technology3. Stability Control1 helps redirect power to whichever brakes or wheels need it so that you don’t lose control or your strong and assured stance during a sharp turn. If you choose the SE or Limited trim, you get some particularly top-notch features like a Blind Spot Monitor4 and a Rear Cross-Traffic Alert5. Both of these features help you know if anyone is sneaking up into your blind spot so that you lower the risk of an accident.
To really kick back and relax in the 2018 Toyota Highlander’s interior, you need a drivetrain that offers plenty of power and a smooth ride so that you don’t have to worry very much about road conditions, and the Highlander certainly delivers. The 2.7L 4-Cylinder DOHC 16-Valve engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing easily clocks in at 185 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. This is more than enough to handle your typical commute, but if you want an extreme upper limit to your driving intensity, choose the SE or Limited trims for their 3.5L V6 DOHC 24-Valve engine with VVT-I for an awe-inspiring 295 horsepower and 263 lb.-ft. of torque. You’ll be able to get a lot of nuance out of this robust engine with its accompanying Direct-Shift 8-Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission. As you blaze down I-88, you’ll overcome bumps and potholes with the standard Independent MacPherson strut front suspension. Even with the immense V6 engine, you’ll still earn a fuel economy of 21/27 MPG city/hwy/combined6.
The interior has too many entertaining and useful features to mention here. The standard integrated backup camera7 makes squeezing into a tight parking spot on the street so much easier. You can keep your passengers entertained with the available rear-seat Blu-ray Disc™ entertainment system with a 9-in. display! Make sure a member of our staff shows you everything that you’ll be able to enjoy in the Highlander’s cabin.
We’re ready for you to come take this vehicle for a test drive. Make the trip out to Anderson Toyota to find a 2018 Toyota Highlander for sale near Dekalb, IL. Our staff is excited to meet you!

Testimonials
“ Always professional and quick ”
“ I am ALWAYS satisfied when I deal with Anderson Service Department. A well-run operation from start to completion, and they truly do stand behind their work without hesitation. The Service Desk folks, especially Greg, are completely committed to getting you the right solution, with no up-sell, unless needed. In fact, more than a few times they have said “No, you don’t need that…just this.” BTW: I started coming to Anderson with my first Toyota - a CORONA. ”

“ I had a fantastic experience at Anderson Toyota and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free. A huge shoutout to Ryan, who was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. They took the time to answer all my questions, listened to what I was looking for, and never made me feel pressured. The team was professional and welcoming, and everything was explained clearly with no surprises. I drove off feeling confident that I got a great deal and exactly the right car for my needs.

“ If I could give 20 stars I would! My salesman Alan, was kind and very knowledgeable, helpful and “no pressure” (which is important to me). I thought I had found the perfect car. After going through the whole purchase process, I found the car was not the one for me. I contacted Alan told him my situation and he and the staff at Anderson literally jumped through many hoops to get me the perfect car for me! I would recommend checking them out if you are in the market for a car! They are the best! ”
“ Double recall work done on our Toyota. Projected to be 2-3 hours in length, but out in 90-minutes. Perfect! ”
“ Frankly, my next car will be purchased at this dealership. Professionalism was absolutely stellar. The recall “repair” which really was more of an additional guarantee of Toyota’s engineering went sweltering fast beyond expectations. Greg, the service coordinator??? was super nice and collected and called me by my name from the very start. The guy was on point and didn’t skip a beat. Thank you all!!!! ”
“ We purchased a used car from Don Smith, and the experience was quick and hassle-free. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for a vehicle. ”

“ I have owned 6 Toyotas over the past 18 years. I have trusted both the Sales and Service departments the whole 18 years. The service is excellent. Appointments are easy to schedule. Service resolves repair problems (repairs are almost non-existent). Service does a great job on preventive maintenance. Toyota parts seem to last much longer than substitutes. Great job! ”
Eloy was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely pleasant.
“ Eloy was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely pleasant. He made our transaction fast and efficient. We couldn't be happier with our 2024 Toyota Highlander.

The clean and welcoming dealership building are top notch. Thanks to all, but especially to Eloy Sosa. ”
