I was looking for videos that mentioned the bad things.Yours did it. Cooled seats is a feature I'm looking for in my next vehicle. The slippery shelving is something I could live with and would fix myself with some non-slip shelf liners held down with mounting putty. Great video. Thanks.
@@tronixsterYou can do the windshield as well. Just look at your state law. In NC, I went the legal route. It was the Air80, which helped so much in the cabin.
Amazing Review. You have covered all the necessary details that helps others to make a better decision on which trim is best for them. Thank you for the video.
Engine is not loud and it's not crazy fast but it does have power so no issues passing cars on highway. Toyota has been making Hybrid systems since 1997 so it's super robust and reliable. No special or routine maintenance required.
We have an XLE. It's nice to drive, feels a bit like a golf cart around town. I hate the softex seats too my back constantly sticks to them. Also tiny useless cupholders.
Praise God you found this review helpful. I haven't removed second row and not planning on it but it is fairly easy to remove it with the help of a socket and you'll need to disconnect the seat airbags but that will keep your airbag lights on.
Do you find it loud? I drove one a couple of weeks ago and I thought the engine was quite loud, regardless of how quick or slow I would accelerate. Thanks for the review!
Trying to find an LE or XLE in Cyress color in SE Texas to no avail. Hoping to find one in December when year end pressure may ease the price below MSRP.
Great review. Thanks. Buddy, go buy yourself some seat covers that breathe better. May not look great, but I'm sure it will stop making you sweat so much. I know how annoying that can be on some seat materials.
Buy a Limited and don’t look back. Sounds like he should’ve of bought a limited. Three XLE owners at church said they wish they should of have just bought the Limited. It not just tech you buy, you get better larger tires and better sound/glass deadening, super soft real leather vented seats. It drives so much quieter and smoother than any other package beside the Platinum. My mother in-law is blown away that it just as smooth and quiet like her brand new Cadillac. Oh our limited is two years old and still drives like the day we bought.
In Palo Alto, California the Toyota dealer is adding nine thousand dollars to the $54,000 Platinum model, thus making it $63,000. A total pig price gouger.
Waited 10 months? Lol I found mine over a weekend. No over paying, just had to drive 4 hrs. Look around. You still can find some of you do your homework.
Yeah I heard people finding it faster by going to different state but we have decided to do everything near our home just because we don't have much time on our hands.
Cool break down and comparison. Thanks for sharing. To all who read this God bless you and remember Jesus loves you. He will come back soon, repent, and submit your life to Jesus. Have a blessed day.
So? Back in the days a SUV is nothing more than a station wagon. Just rename to make it sound cool. SUV minivan it's all the same. 90% suv mall crawl only. Fact
@@alphaomega750 I had one of the first "SUV", a 1973 Chevy Blazer full time 4wd. It worked as a truck with the rear bench seat removed. It was tall with a lift and large mud tires. Yes, it made the occasional trip to the mall because of the large cargo space. I dare a mini van to follow that vehicle in the wild.
You are absolutely right not mini van will dare to follow 1973 Chevy Blazer in the wild. Mini van is super practical for families with little kids and SUV has a little different purpose.

Very good review... everything this dad wanted to know, thanks!
One of the best review videos ever thank you!!
Very useful review.
I tow a 12 x 6 ft trailer with a AWD model and and they are super stable.
Oh nice! I was thinking to tow a 15 popup trailer with it
Thank you for this video. I have been Watching many to figure out which one I’m going to buy for my van life I’m starting in a few months.
As per seats, try tinting front side windows. It helped me against sun heating them up. Not too dark, I went with 30% and it helps a lot.
That’s a great idea and thanks for sharing

Thank you best review ever !
Praise God and I really appreciate your support 😁
Awesome review, many thanks 👍
Praise God you enjoyed this review and found it helpful 😁
Best review so far
I have one and really enjoy it especially the safety sense, the relaxing hybrid drive experience (quiet, smooth and great mpg).
That's awesome and thanks for sharing. So far we are having very similar experience
Best review...Good explanation..Thanks
Which gas are you using and thanks for the video and Gob bless you and your family.
Hey man, we normally use mid grade and some times premium. And really appreciate the support.
Is the engine loud? Is it easy to pass up vehicles on the highway? Does the hybrid need routine maintenance?

Lol golf cart sounds about right and yes softext seats are not the greatest for sure but we still like the van overall
I never been in a golf ⛳ catt 😢
Now we have an XSE
I got limited trim
In Canada the dealers stopped taking orders. Before that The wait time was 4 years.
That's crazy. I'm glad we are in US I guess and good luck finding one
Yup still waiting. 1.5 years now. Only 10% of Siennas being produced get to Canada. The rest go to the USA. Fucking annoying.
Waited Jan 2023 to Oct 2023 in state of Florida USA. They had to modify an order sent to the dealership
Awesome review, thank you. Do you know how easy it is to remove the second raw temporarily to increase cargo space?
Praise God you found this review helpful. I haven't removed second row and not planning on it but it is fairly easy to remove it with the help of a socket and you'll need to disconnect the seat airbags but that will keep your airbag lights on.

excellent review
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those co driver seat doesn’t not have equal motion as driver seat. Lumbar support is missing. I wish they will add in next year model.
Yes you are right passenger seat doesn't have the lumbar support.
Trying to find an LE or XLE in Cyress color in SE Texas to no avail. Hoping to find one in December when year end pressure may ease the price below MSRP.
We love Cypress color. Good luck finding one and God bless 😁
Kinda messed me up at first when your hand went behind the license plate! 🤣
bro 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 are you ok now?
what about woodland edition?
Woodland edition is nice but it's in limited quantity and wait time will be over two years.
Please how much is the van now
Hey man I'm not sure. It depends on the state and city you live in but I believe I can sell it for $5k to $10k more than what I bought it for
Is there a power difference with the 2 wd
I haven’t driven a two wheel drive but from what I heard AWD is a little better from the start especially if it’s slippery
Great review. Thanks. Buddy, go buy yourself some seat covers that breathe better. May not look great, but I'm sure it will stop making you sweat so much. I know how annoying that can be on some seat materials.
Do you know how to watch youtude from the infotainment system ? Thanks.
wireless apple carplay?

Oh wow! that's crazy!!
Why block your license plate when your house number is clearly visible. If you're curious, only took less than a minute to locate it.
😮😮 come over for tea please 😁
@@tronixster darn, I was just down there few days ago. 😆
So which is better if one is 54K OTD one is 56.5OTD both AWD
Well you have to compare all the options both vehicles have
I thought every model have the 1500w outlet, but only AWD premium and tech pack have this, bullshit

No dealers in green bay, WI were able to get it even after 6 months. Milwauukee took 4 months for platinum
for some trim levels you just can't find them.
Cool break down and comparison. Thanks for sharing. To all who read this God bless you and remember Jesus loves you. He will come back soon, repent, and submit your life to Jesus. Have a blessed day.
Soon the LE trim will disappear just like L did, and XLE will become the lowest trim for Toyota. I remember when XLE was the top of the line.
It's still a mini van.
Yup it is and that’s exactly what we’ve ordered 🤌🏽
