The fuel filter for a 2006 Toyota Highlander is typically part of the fuel pump assembly, located underneath the vehicle attached to the fuel rail. Accessing it is relatively easy, requiring removal of a few bolts. Replacement costs can range from $200 to $800 on average. In certain instances, the filter and pump may be integrated within the gas tank, necessitating a new tank for pump replacement, but external access allows for filter replacement. Costs for this process are comparable, possibly slightly higher than just replacing the pump. Signs of a failing pump include difficulty accelerating due to insufficient fuel delivery and potential starting issues.
In the case of the 2006 Toyota Highlander, you can find the fuel filter inside the fuel tank, specifically on the rear left side of the vehicle.
