I’m a diy mechanic & do all my own servicing, over the 18 years, I spent about $1500 on a new clutch a set of ignition coils & I replaced the injectors. I now own a Toyota Rav 4 hybrid, if I get half the service out of it like I did with my prado I will be happy.

    One of the things I like about this Scotty Kilmer channel is how it shows how some people have had apparently less success with their lawn as I have had! My BIG problem with my lawn in Woodbridge (VA) is the lespedesa that comes up every year. This year for the first time, I put down Dimension pre-emergence weed control in early March, but it seems like some of these weeds are sprouting up. If it only reduces the amount of this weed, I will try this again next year with an earlier application.

    I've had a 2013 Venza since 2014 and I love it. Same spec as this one- 4cyl, FWD. Thing is bulletproof and hasn't left me stranded. The only complaint I have is the steering column rattle issue. It's apparently harmless, but it is an annoying sound and from what I understand, expensive to fix. Other than that superficial thing, it's been a fantastic vehicle. I've put 100,000 miles on it and it's sitting at around 140,000. I imagine it'll go to 350,000.

The only negative is the car rides HARD! If your ok with that then you will get one of the best cars out there. Has more interior room than my Jeep Grand Cherokee which I lease and will happily hand in when the lease is up! I will be buying another Toyota real soon! Simply the Best!

Found a 2015 with only 13K miles traded in on a Lexus Rx 350. Like new. Was a good buy. Still trouble free Venza so far at 33K. In hind sight I'm sure the 2010 still had at least another 100 k left of service. Love this era Venza. Only complaint is there is road noise. Thanks Scotty I akway enjoy your videos.

    I've owned 30+ cars in my life including various Toyotas but my current vehicle is a 2014 Venza 6 cyl. AWD Ltd that I bought used 5 years ago. It is the best car I've ever owned as far as reliability and functionality. Besides regular maintenance all I've spent on it is a passenger side puddle light assembly for $80.00 Cdn. These cars are a hidden gem and I would buy another if Toyota still made it in this configuration. I'm evidently not alone in my opinion, as I see literally dozens of these models in my small town in Ontario, Canada. It is roomy, relatively quiet, powerful, and is relatively fuel efficient. Perfect...no, but not far from it!

    I can tell you that having a 4cyl for many years living in a snow cold weather state wasn't always the best experience. After going from a car into a midsized suv with a v6 and awd I would never ever go back. I handle any and all bad weather conditions with ease, and I drive through tons of bad snow storms this year and feel more comfortable and confident doing it. My honda was great. I loved my Accord, but having more power, more traction, and more capabilities with the suv is a very nice welcoming change.

    This model of Venza was massively successful in Canada. People freaked when they stop making them and it even jacked up the price. But, unfortunately Canadian sales weren't enough to keep the model relative enough for Toyota to sell them. I think they are great.

    I have a 2011 V6 Venza with 104,000 miles on it. It had 17 miles when I drove it off the dealer's lot. It is an outstanding vehicle. The only thing I've ever had to do to it was replace the alternator at around 100,000. It is quiet and powerful. It's starting to show some wear on the driver's seat leather, but people who have never ridden in it think it's brand new. We also have a 2009 Camry V6 with also around 104,000 on it. Same engine and the alternator on it went out at around 95k. My wife has driven it since brand new and it's showing its age b/c she kept it parked outside in the hot sun until she retired. I drive a company vehicle every day and the Venza has mostly lived in the garage and is used for long range cruising which Scotty and other mechanics say is better. The Venza is awesome!

    Scotty, I really like the first generation Venza. However I could not find a nice low mileage Venza at a decent price last year. Hence I bought a 66k mile 2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71. The Ford is amazing. I drove it from Los Angeles to the Texas coast and back, no problems whatsoever. The big plus is it runs on Ethanol. In Southern California regular gas is $4.60 a gallon. Ethanol is $3.20 a gallon.
    The best mileage I got on the freeway was 24 mpg. I understand the concern about all the complicated electronics/systems being reliable over time. My Ford has actual knobs and buttons and 2 wheel RWD. Yes, 4 speed "real" automatic transmission.

    The 0-60 is dreadful, but you don't get a hatchback/midsize SUV for the acceleration.
    The only thing I'm disappointed about is, how low it is compared to a midsize SUV, and it can be difficult putting kids in the seats.

    The V6 is the 2GR-FE that they put in everything during those years and they all will develop the dreaded front timing cover leak. $20 in gaskets and $3500 in labor to REMOVE the engine in order to do the repair. It’s an ‘engine-out’ job on the Sienna, RX, Venza, etc.
    The v6 is silky smooth but the 4-cyl might be the safer bet. It would be great if Scotty gave his thoughts on this.
