Our used-car picks for the ten best crossovers

Number 6: 2001-2005 Toyota Highlander

Engine: 2.4-liter inline-4
Fuel Type: Regular
EPA fuel economy (city/highway): 19/25 (FWD, 4-speed automatic)
Price range: $12,250-19,250
JD Power Dependability: 3.5 out of 5

The 2001-2005 Toyota Highlander was an expensive proposition as a new vehicle, but as a used crossover, the Highlander is right in the ballpark. Starting at $12,250 the used Toyota Highlander runs around the middle of the pack. What weighs it down is the somewhat average -- by crossover standards -- fuel economy, which is still not far enough off to exclude it from the list and is probably accounted for due to it coming with an automatic transmission as standard equipment. The Toyota Highlander is a good quality vehicle that will treat you right.
