For seats, if you can, I would recommend leather in a heartbeat -
especially if you have to occasionally transport humans too. It cleans up
so quickly and easily; fur never sticks to it and mud, drool etc wipe off
easily. I had fabric in my two previous trucks and wouldn't go back to
that - there was always a ton of fur on them (of course) and mud etc was
much harder to get out.
I like the looks of the Highlander (being a Toyota type of person)
especially the large cargo area, but because it is only available with two
or three option packages it priced out higher than the 4Runner. This was
about a year and a half ago now, it may be different now, or different in
the US.
I'm on my third 4Runner right now, and I really like them. The only
drawback that I would mention is that the rear latch tends to get stuck
after a while and need professional intervention. (It is a manual latch
though.) This has happened on all three of my vehicles. Oh, and they
don't have butt warmers ;)
