Exterior - 2019 Toyota Highlander

For increased traction, the Toyota Highlander's tires are larger than those on the Acadia (245/60R18 compared to 235/65R18). The standard tires found on the Highlander offer improved handling because of their lower profile and stiffer sidewalls. For better brake cooling, handling, and ride quality, the Highlander comes with 18" wheels; 17" wheels are standard on the GMC Acadia. The Toyota Highlander's front-to-rear weight distribution is significantly more even (53%/47%) compared to the Acadia's (56.5%/43.5%). This provides the Toyota Highlander with more stable braking and handling. For better off-roading, the 2019 Highlander has a greater ground clearance than the GMC Acadia (8 inches to 7.2 inches), which allows it to move over rough terrain without damage.
