Toyota Grand HighlanderAs the name suggests, the Grand Highlander is a grander, more souped-up version of the regular Highlander, in almost every way you can imagine: comfort, space, interior, option choices, and of course, price. In 2025, the Grand Highlander starts at $42,460 for the base LE, going all the way up to $58,775 for the top-of-the-range Hybrid MAX Platinum. In between you have varying other choices, adding up to 10 trims overall, out of which six have regular automatic transmissions, and four have CVTs. The LE, XLE, Limited, and Platinum come with an eight-speed ECT. The Hybrid MAX Limited and Hybrid MAX Platinum both come with a six-speed ECT instead of the eight-speed.All eight-speed Grand Highlanders come with a four-cylinder, 2.4-liter displacement turbocharged engine that pushes out 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, like the regular highlanders. The Hybrid MAX Limited and Hybrid MAX Platinum trims come with the same engine plus a hybrid system, bringing their total outputs to 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Both engines offer fairly decent economy for the Grand Highlanders size, with the non-hybrid AWD variants getting an EPA combined estimate of 23 MPG and 22 MPG for the platinum trims. FWD variants get one additional mile per gallon. The hybrid powertrains do improve on range at 27 MPG each for the Hybrid MAX Limited and Hybrid MAX Platinum trims. Also worth noting is that on the Grand Highlander you get the 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen as standard, whereas you'd have to option it on the regular Highlander.Toyota GR YarisFor those of us who can't quite afford the $57,000 minimum of a GR Supra, Gazoo Racing also has the GR Yaris offering. The 2025 GR Yaris is available in three trims: Core, Premium, and Premium plus, priced at $38,860, $41,440, and $45,515 respectively. This is a textbook example of a pocket rocket, with an electronically limited top speed of 142.9 mph, 300 hp, and 295 lb-ft of torque packed into a body that has a curb weight of just 3,274 pounds — that makes for a power-to-weight ratio of 0.091. All trims come with a six-speed intelligent manual transmission — yes, manual — and seating space for five. The transmission also has rev-matching technology to ensure you don't burn out your engine too quickly, but if you've got a heavy foot, you can option a sub radiator (a radiator for your radiator) to improve engine cooling and performance. The sub radiator isn't available on the Core trim, but it's optional on the Premium, and standard on the Premium Plus. All three trims feature a 12.3-inch digital multi-information display that lets you monitor your turbo pressure, distance to empty, range, exterior temperature, scheduled maintenance times, and even has a compass. You get single zone climate control across the board, a 12V socket, and two USB charge ports, in addition to a remote keyless entry system. And of course, this is a car designed for performance, so the front has MacPherson struts and the back has wishbone suspension units. All in all, a pretty complete enthusiast package for $38,860.Toyota TundraToyota's full-size pickup Tundra is meant to rival the Ford F-150. It's got a decent price point, it's reliable, and it will take a beating before giving out. The 2025 Toyota Tundra is available in nine different trims, which from cheapest to most expensive are the SR, SR5, Limited, Limited i-FORCE MAX, Platinum, Platinum i-FORCE MAX, 1794 edition, 1794 Edition i-FORCE MAX, TRD Pro, and Capstone. All of them come with some version of the same base engine, a 3.4-liter V6 i-FORCE unit, mated to a 10-speed ECT-i. Your i-FORCE engine would make one of the following combinations of power: 358 hp and 406 lb-ft, 389 hp and 479 lb-ft, or 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque. Most trims get rear-wheel drive as standard, with an optional upgrade to AWD. You also get the choice on most trims to have a 5.5-foot bed or a 6.5-foot one.All trims also come with sequential shift mode and uphill/downhill shift logic as standard, alongside a slew of safety features.The entry-level SR starts at $45,140 and the top-range capstone trim starts at $80,725. The third-generation Tundra debuted in 2022, and the one before that (the second generation Tundra) didn't change much during its 14 years on the market. Thus, you can safely look at 2022 models if you're on the lookout for a used Tundra model that still ticks all boxes, which you'll find around the $36,000 price mark.
