Which vehicle to drive in WINDY WEATHER??

Question

I'm in California heading to Las Vegas, NV this Saturday with my family (4 females & 3 kids) and I'm concern of the windy weather. I will be the main driver. I have to two vehicle to choose from:

- 2004 - Toyota Sequoia-has room

- 2008 - Toyota Highlander Hybrid-has dvd players and save on gas

Thank you for your suggestions and comments

Answer 1

honestly, the Sequoia, being 1000lbs heavier is safer in wind

Answer 2

highlander ................

Answer 3

Since your 3 yr old gets bored easily, for your own sanity, take the Highlander and a lot of DVD's.

Answer 4

If gas is no object, I would take the Sequoia.  Yes, it is higher, but it is also much heavier.  It's easy to move an armchair across the floor.  It is substantially harder, to move a piano, even a little bit.  Plus you get added room.  The downside is the gas.

Answer 5

The Toyota Highlander safe for you and the child and will keep the child occupied, drive safe.

Answer 6

The Highlander may be slightly better in the wind because of its shape, but you probably wont notice a difference in either one.  

I would decide based on which is going to keep the kids quiet the longest, a DVD or them not being smashed against each other.

Unless there is a major wind storm (50+ mph) you'll be fine in either one.

Answer 7

The Highlander........personally I'd strap the kids to the roof if they gave me any trouble>>>>lol
