The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Mitsubishi Endeavor to the dealership as the Toyota. The Endeavor will tax your gas budget considerably more than the Toyota will. Regarding gas mileage, the Toyota Highlander has the Mitsubishi Endeavor beat. When it comes to MSRP, the Mitsubishi Endeavor doesn't cost much less than the Highlander.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Toyota over the Mitsubishi. The Toyota Highlander is a better choice than the Mitsubishi Endeavor regarding transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of loot or big dogs. Towing is considerably more the Mitsubishi Endeavor's forte than it is the Toyota Highlander's.

Convenience
You'll most definitely take the Endeavor for a fill-up almost as often as the Toyota Highlander.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Toyota offers a bit more head room than the Mitsubishi Endeavor, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Toyota is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Mitsubishi Endeavor.

Dimensions
The Highlander is considerably more bulky than the Mitsubishi. The Toyota Highlander's tank is almost the same size as the Mitsubishi Endeavor's, though the Mitsubishi Endeavor's is somewhat bigger. The Highlander and the Mitsubishi Endeavor compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Mitsubishi Endeavor and the Toyota Highlander definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Mitsubishi Endeavor's engine is significantly larger than the Toyota Highlander's. Note that larger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. The Mitsubishi Endeavor packs quite a punch compared to the Toyota Highlander when it comes to torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly. Torque equals pickup, and the Mitsubishi will have picked up and gone by the time the Toyota Highlander finally gets moving.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota Highlander isn't quite as generous as the Mitsubishi Endeavor's.
