Anyone have any feedback on the 2013 versions of these? And costs on leases for them? Probably need 15,000 miles.

We have 2012 Highlander and an explorer! I love the highlander! My issue with the Explorer 10mos into ownership the transmission went. We purchased brand new from the dealer but what I later learned was the transmission parts is equivalent to that of a Pinto! Of course the warranty was in effect so it was replaced but I would not advise any Ford/ Mercury vehicle.

I agree. I think Fords are only good for trucks. DH has a F250 for work and has not had any major issues outside of wear and tear.
I had a Ford vehicle that was constantly in the shop with problems, including the transmission.
It's not on the OP list, but I highly recommend checking out Mazda crossovers.
I have a CX9 and have had no issues.
I am leasing now and actually contemplating just buying it outright in a few months.
It's also good on gas IMO.
I found out about it from LIF. Many of the ladies have them and I have yet to hear a complaint yet.
P.S. My boss just got a highlander and it's a very lovely looking vehicle as well.
