    2006 owner. Great van. Inadvertently received it over time after kids grew up and wife basically took over my car as her own. Use it for my rentals these days because it carries full sheets of plywood and drywall plus tools. Took me 3 years of ownership to notice the hidden arm rest storage - I store my wallet or firearm in there as thieves would simply pass over it. About 8 years ago my kid lost her tablet and it has been an unsolved mystery ever since. Well, past summer I was vacuuming up construction debris in the van and found the long missing tablet in the hidden drawer under the passenger seat! I had no idea it existed. 221,000 miles now, running great, and btw tablet still worked and it was hilarious watching the old videos stored on the device.

    People always give me looks when I say that I low key love my parent's 04 Sienna XLE Limited that they bought new before I entered high school. I got my permit in it, we toured universities in it, helped me move in/out of school, helped me w/ multiple apt moves as an adult, road trips, home depot runs, etc. etc. And it currently has only 80,000 miles for a 17 year old car so it's going to last till we go extinct.

Automatic doors wouldn’t shut in winter all the way in winter, and car would beep while driving, rear bumper tabs failed driving down the interstate, and we were dragging bumper down interstate, had to temp fix with duct tape, seat heaters failed, passenger window failed. Replaced with 2015 Highlander. 150k repair free miles. Nothing has failed yet.

      Incredibly the suspension is still original although dealer recommends replacing struts but again, I don’t see the need for replacing struts yet because it still handles great and no tire cupping or uneven wear found. No electrical issues and fuel injection issues, it still has the original fuel pump. Seats are soft and cushy and in excellent condition. Paint is acceptable but still original. Dealer replaced the dashboard free of charge in 2015 at around 200k miles because they found a small crack on passenger side and said it should not crack after 10 years or 200K lol 😂.

It’s comfortable, its fast, it’s good in the snow, it can carry full sheets of plywood, and it gets 24 mpg. I put 120 miles a day on it commuting to work and back, and the interior looks the same as it did in 2004, nothing has worn out or broken, even the power doors work fine. It was well designed and well built, as a Toyota should be. All that to say I don’t think we’ll be saying the same thing about the 2021 Sienna in 17 years, which is a real shame.

Otherwise, it sits in the garage under a cover. It has gone all over the western United States. it one time saved our lives as we drove down a steep hill that had black ice in Lake Tahoe. Last month I had the original brakes from the factory changed on the front, but the Toyota dealership said that the rear brakes were barely worn and do not need to be changed. Service is always done at the dealership and the service advisors all admire my Sienna. My Sienna did not come with “Fix a Flat”. It came with only with run flat tires, no spare tire.

      The 2004 Sienna is 54k adjusted, he mentioned that in the video. Compared to the newer Sienna he tested which is 46K! I won't lie and say that the new Sienna has it's issues, but with the right mid cycle refresh they'll figure out some of the smaller details (more headroom, better build quality and fit and finish, removable second row seats, more power for the hybrid and hopefully the 12.3in infotainment found in the new Highlander).

    Good video. Just let my 04 Sienna go recently as it just turned 360,000 km, yes that’s km, as l am in Ontario Canada. This van dealt with the salt and snow and crap weather we get here, and NEVER let us down. It was the LE so had mid row captains chairs, and was awesome for travelling with another couple. I needed a truck, and l saw this 2014 Tundra with 350,000 km on it, so obviously it was highway driven. Have had it six months and not a worry in the world about it. I do still miss the Sienna, she took good care of us for 17 years, and is still on the road. May find ourselves in one again some day, but l will look for one that is a few years old. The new one you had there did less for me than your dressed out 04. I swear they were built better. Ours came from Tennessee when we got it. Cheers, and thanks again for the good info.

    I could do the same exact comparisons with my vans; 2004 LE, 2022 LE awd. I love them both The hybrid platform is just different, but in good way. I love the fact it runs only when required. I get 33 mpg highway and 40 mpg city. Yes things may feel cheaper in some ways but in the end 99% of all vehicles end up recycled in 20 years. You put the money in the moving components and in areas where it counts. I was born in 1967 and have a excellent account of all the cars throughout the years. Cars today are huge improvement of the past. I can live with cheap carpet and few squeaks, for great gas mileage and advanced safety features. I never thought for second when I purchased my 2004 that I would own it till now and have so few mechanical issues. You can reflect on the past, but not on the future. I will be upgrading my 2022 when the plug in comes in. The gas you save can make up for maintenance in the long run.

Not to mention hauls from Lowe’s and Costco. It has served us very well. Now I’m converting it into my camper van.

    I love my 05 sienna it's identical to yours limited awd. I use it to haul stuff so having removable center seats is a big plus for me. Love my dual glove box, hidden pocket doors, removable center console. It has been super reliable.
    Only issue as all Sienna owners knows is the cracked dash, which mine has been replaced.
    Heck if you are in California, I would buy yours from you. It still looks really nice.
    I passed on the 2012 to 2020 models( removable center seats but what is that big track bumps and lack of storage up front )because of these same reasons, and now 2021 they made it worse.
    I only wished Toyota made the new sienna just as practical in use of space . I don't know why the Sienna designer do not continue these practicalities , it's what I really want in a reliable mini van.
    Pretty sure people to buy the new Sienna understand these things and buy the van not for hauling cargo but more focused on people transport like you are doing with 4 car seats.
    Please Toyota, make the 2022 Sienna with 2 options, practical van for people like me to haul stuff with the removable center seats , removable center console, to start with and one for passenger hauling.

Also put a 32' ladder up there once. This generation of Sienna is a beast. Wheel barrows, table saw on roller stand, 12" chop saw on stand, 1700lbs of rock veneer stone, roofing, concrete bags.

The fact I can haul 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall or a couch, bed, dresser with the rear door closed is fantastic. I've even hauled a piano laying on it's back and my John Deere riding mower with the seat removed.

    Mine was an excellent van for the 5 years I had it - from 135,000 miles to 175,500 when I traded it in. It had finally reached the point of not being practical to keep repairing the things that were wearing out and breaking on a regular basis due to age.

Loved the gas mileage. Not the acceleration or the non flat smaller cargo space with no 2nd row seat removal. With the strength of your review and lack of availability of Toyotas in general (to say nothing of the outrageous markups) I’ll be keeping my old sienna a while. Maybe a different dealership. I purchased 10 Toyotas or Scions from them in the past but no loyalty to past customers.
