I mean, the newer Highlanders have been rather well built and the fit and finish had been impressively consistent from what I've noticed over the years; they're made in North America. The NUMMI plant was cranking out pretty good quality Tacomas and Matrix when it was operational and the Texas facility seemed to do decently with the Tacomas and Tundras for a while. Though I think the moving production to Mexico, COVID and Toyota seemingly rushing the 3rd Gen Tundra out the door no matter what has resulted in poor QC (seriously, the new Tundras make me cringe when I look at them closely with how poor the QC is and how many DPRs it feels like we're making on those issues.)

I'm a little hesitant about production being possibly based out of Mexico rather than Japan... but I'm more concerned that Toyota will repeat the same story with the 3rd Gen Sequioa, 4th gen Tacoma, and 6th gen 4Runner; in that they'll push hard to get them out the door that QC will be abysmal no matter where they're producing them.
