Are you looking to stand tall amongst sedans while trekking through the streets of Des Moines? We at Toyota of Des Moines are happy to recommend you visit our location to test drive our latest RAV4, Sequoia, 4Runner, and Highlander 2024 SUV models. Because they’re quite different in terms of their features and strengths, it’s advisable to read through this guide we’ve prepared for you before you stop in.
2024 Toyota RAV4
It’s only appropriate that we begin by explaining some of the characteristics of the RAV4 first, as it is the compact SUV of the group. Under its hood lies a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces a lively 203 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. This powertrain lends credence to some of the commendable heavy-lifting capabilities of this SUV, demonstrated by its 3,500-lb. maximum towing capacity1. The practicality doesn’t end there, as you’re able to utilize its 37.6 cubic ft. of cargo volume2 to store some valuables you’ll need for a trip to Principal Park with ease. And with a standard 8-inch touchscreen that is compatible with standard wireless Apple CarPlay®3 and Android Auto™4, you can entertain up to five passengers in this vehicle!
2024 Toyota 4Runner
Entering the midsize SUV category is the respected 2024 Toyota 4Runner! Slightly burlier than the RAV4, this model supplies you with more hauling capability courtesy of its standard 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity1. This jump in capability can be credited to its brawny 4.0L V6 engine that is standard across all trim levels of this SUV, producing a joyful 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. of torque. Depending on how many occupants you think you’ll be driving to James W. Cownie Soccer Park on a regular basis, you can choose between a standard 5-passenger seating capacity or an available 7-seater configuration. Store cleats, uniforms, and other gear behind the third row by making use of the 47.2 cubic ft. of cargo volume2. Play some radio tunes along the way by selecting a top station using the standard 8-inch touchscreen display.
2024 Toyota Highlander
The penultimate vehicle we’ll be covering is the 2024 Toyota Highlander, a three-row midsize SUV with a standard seating capacity of eight passengers! Let loose on the John MacVicar Freeway by pumping out 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque through a standard 2.4L 4-cylinder engine. If you believe you’ll need some extra muscle to carry a heavy load, its 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity1 will be there to help you. Smaller items that also need to be transported during the journey can be placed behind the third row, as there’s 16 ft. of cargo volume2 to make use of. In terms of media operations, you’ll have a choice between a standard 8-inch panel and an available 12.3-inch variant that makes reading icons and fonts a bit easier.
2024 Toyota Sequoia
Last on the lineup is Toyota’s largest vehicle in its SUV segment, which is none other than the full-size 2024 Toyota Sequoia. This contender possesses a mighty 9,520-lb. maximum towing capacity1, a figure that is upheld by a standard 3.4L twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine and permanent magnet synchronous motor. These two mechanisms work in unison to churn out a whopping 437 horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque. We encourage you to invite your friends and family to our location to experience this verve, as it’s capable of comfortably chaperoning eight occupants. Before everyone adjusts themselves within it, we’ll highlight its commodious 22.3-11.5 cubic ft. of cargo volume2. During the test drive, our staff will provide you with a demonstration of how to utilize its available 14-inch touchscreen display!

I was in to have the control knob for my heated seat
“ I was in to have the control knob for my heated seat repaired, as it was stuck in the dash on my 2011 Highlander SE. I purchased the vehicle new from Toyota DM in March 2011. I was told they would try to take apart and repair first before using an expensive replacement part. However, when I was called to pay for the repair and asked what the issue was and what was done to correct the problem, all I was told was it was "fixed". I asked again and was told "it was fixed". No replacement part apparently was needed. After paying, I went to the vehicle and immediately discovered that a small wedge was sticking out in the middle console, apparently used to take apart for the repair. I showed Ian the issue who then jumped in the vehicle and hurried off to have that corrected. After the vehicle was returned, the knob worked fine and the wedge was removed. There seems to be a tension among the customer service staff - I don't feel very welcome and I don't know why. Everyone has bad days, but the overworked attitude seems to be a pattern for my visits. As a customer, I feel I deserve a better experience. I did not cause the issue I pointed out. I would have nice to have an apology and a smile. Not sure how careful the Toyota DM techs are with your car when they don't even take the time to ensure the work was done completely. I would guess they are under a lot of stress to churn work out. I am not confident to have any major work done here in the future, as if this obvious issue was overlooked, how careful and thorough are they with major service? - that at Toyota DM you expect experts and pay a premium price for that expertise. ”
Called by dealer to say 3 recalls ready to do and we
“ Called by dealer to say 3 recalls ready to do and we should drop the car and leave it for the day. At drop off we were told only 2 would be done and it only took 80 min for the fix. Wish dealer would have called before appt date & told us not all would be done as we'd have saved driving a second car and just waited for it. That part was disappointing there wasn't better communication before our service. Everything else was very good. ”
I have been a Toyota fan for a number of years.
“ I have been a Toyota fan for a number of years. Currently have two and a number of trades. Was disappointed at my last trip about remote start that only works occasionally. I have been told by two Toyota employees that it is just a bad design and they often deal with complaints about it. They say I need to subscribe to the app which is not what I purchased. Employees have been great but frustrated there isn't anything they can do about it. Thanks for asking. Harold Good. ”

1. Never tow beyond a vehicle’s published towing capacities. Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. Installation of a tow hitch receiver or other accessories located near the rear bumper may require disabling or removing the kick sensor, and the sensor operation setting in your vehicle should be turned off. Follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual.
*2. Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution. Always properly secure cargo and cargo area.
