The one reason I can think of is rust. If you keep up with the timing belt on the 3MZ and flush the fluid on the U151 transmission regularly, these are proven to run to 200k consistently and 20 years later I still see them everywhere.
I remember seeing these back in the day. They looked modern compared to a lot of mini vans on the road. In 2005 I was driving a 2002 Chevy venture. It was pretty outdated by that point.
Ironic you say that because the Toyota design didn't age well. The new for 2004/05 Odyssey and Freestar both still look very good even today to point where non car ppl never know they are 20 years old. The venture looks good to this day and has a nice clean aero look but sadly safety isn't great on them compared to Ford, Honda and Toyota.
@@workingcountry1776You misunderstood me. I said the Venture was outdated by 2002. I didn't really like it. When buying a vehicle with credit you take what you can get though. It was the Venture or sedans. I took the van.
I still see these everywhere. Must be reliable
My mom
Had one over 200k miles no problems just regular maintenance It’s Toyota ofc
سيارة ممتازة
@@ابراهيممحمدامحمدامحمد a gabba gabba gabba goo to you
Who worked for Toyota at the time these were out?
Most reliable vehicle model in most lists that keep track of that
These things are an absolute legend. We still own ours after almost 2 decades. :)
Best Van I have ever owned for sure.
Bought a 2005 model when it was new in 2005, still running strong for almost 2 decades, and I can't see why it would not last one decade more.
Mine 2005 sienna has 257k miles on it so far😂😂😂 at 270k i plan to swap out used low miles engine👍

I love the car amazing
Very nice this Toyota Sienna
I came to laugh at the video but it's actually super good lol
Where do you put the key in
I love how they casually mention adaptive cruise control. It's like... that's a feature you have to pay a premium for. Even today.
I’m like it
Designed and built in America with 90% or more US sourced parts, yet STILL paying that import fee/tax. Nice.

If it’s not using oil, DON’T do it! I know a lady that got 602,000 off hers with original engine
2004 - strong..
