The 2007 Toyota Highlander comes with a 3.3L V6 engine, designated as the 3MZ-FE. This naturally aspirated engine produces 215 horsepower and 222 lb-ft of torque. It features dual overhead cams, variable valve timing (VVT-i), and electronic fuel injection. The engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and is available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. This powerplant provides adequate performance for the Highlander’s size and weight, offering a good balance of power and fuel economy for family hauling duties.

The 2007 Toyota Highlander shares most parts with the 2001-2007 first-generation models, though some components changed during mid-cycle refreshes. The 3.3L engine and transmission are largely compatible across all first-generation years. Body panels, interior components, and suspension parts from 2004-2007 models offer the best interchange compatibility due to the 2004 facelift. Some electrical components and modules may have different part numbers between early and late production years. Second-generation Highlanders (2008+) have limited parts compatibility, mainly sharing some engine internals and basic maintenance items like filters and fluids.

The 3.3L 3MZ-FE engine has mixed reliability depending on maintenance history. With proper care and regular oil changes every 5,000 miles, these engines can reach 200,000+ miles. However, they are susceptible to oil sludge formation if maintenance is neglected, which can cause catastrophic failure. The engine also tends to develop minor oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and oil pan around 100,000 miles. Regular maintenance, using the correct oil viscosity, and addressing leaks promptly are essential for longevity. Overall, it’s a decent engine when properly maintained but requires more attention than Toyota’s bulletproof 4-cylinder engines.
