We are about to purchase a 2026 sienna, leaning toward LE because we don’t need flashy stuff and view vehicles more as tools. That said, we do have four kiddos that like to spill lots of things so would love “leather” seats. Just not quite sure I’m willing to spend 10k more for fake leather.
We recently purchased a 2026 Sienna XSE. It's been great, but I admit I've been struggling to pull into tight parking spots. I will often need to back up and retry to get lined up correctly (or at leat "good enough"). Our last car was also a minivan (Mazda 5) but it was much smaller so I'm having trouble adjusting to the longer, wider vehicle.
Does anyone have any suggestions for improving the parking lot experience? Backing into spots isn't practical for most of the spots we use regularly (and honestly I'm just not a "back into parking spots" kind of guy). I'm intrigued by Beatsonic's front facing camera but I can't find any reviews for how much it actually helps. I'm also curious if I'm overcomplicating the problem, and all I need is an extra-or-better-placed mirror, some arcane parking trick, or just "more practice".
Just joined the club. First Toyota too. Glad to be here!
Just curious what you all are predicting for the 2027 sienna. There are always little updates here and there so i'm not buying the "They're not changing a thing" thing!

If anyone is looking for Blueprint Limited AWD, it’s $3425 off MSRP
Hey folks, can you let me know if this is a fair deal?
Hello all, first time sienna buyer and could use some help.
2017 sienna LE FWD - 180,000 km.
$20,000 cdn all in (taxes etc)
Snow tires included
Runs great but interior is a little rough. Not clean. Was clearly used roughly.
Decent Carfax records, shows fairly regular oil changes, some gaps but they can be because the service provided doesn't register with Carfax. Looks like the owner aimed for oil changes between 8-10k km.
Everything is a little "sticky" but works fine. Just a little roughed up.
2019 sienna XLE AWD - 175,000 KM
$27,000 cdn all in (taxes etc)
No snow tires
Runs and drives just as well. Interior is beautiful, leather , well maintained, spotless.
No Carfax service records. So no idea if anything was ever done but overall car looks very well maintained. Doesn't say much about engine health.
Both cars are negligible rust.
Just need some advice if there is a very good reason to pick one over another. I have 4 kids, I expect things will get messy anyway so I'm leaving towards the 2019, newer year, same mileage. But I do want to use it to haul a popup camper trailer (maximum 200 km from home, usually around 100 km). And not sure if AWD and interior condition is worth the extra 7 grand.
Any advice is appreciated.
Just paid off my 2021 we got brand new. Miles are just north of 40k. No accidents and I literally just swapped out my tires that came with the car when I bought.
This was my last car payment, and have two other vehicles paid.
With the impending release of the 2027, I still have 40k of equity on this car. Curious to hear others opinions on this.
Thanks
I knew they were in high demand, but jeez... by the time I talked to dealership #5, I said straight up that I wasn't paying more than $58,000 OTD. The guy basically told me I was bananas to expect that. Another said they will only negotiate a discount if I had a deal in hand from their competitor otherwise they weren't willing to come down at all. Am I the one being unreasonable here???? I have no specifications on color other than not white and I only want AWD.
There is a Platinum listed in my area for ~$54,000 too 😭 it's just the fridge/vacuum takes up so much space right in the middle of the second row
2026 Woodland, I'm trying to install the FitCamX but can't seem to pry off the black plastic.
It happens in the first 5 seconds of the video. I either can't locate the hidden tabs or I'm too scared to apply enough force.

Does anyone have tips or tricks to help pop this out?
Just had my 3rd kid, and am shopping for a van. This is for 19k. Do you guys think it is worth it? Hard to justify buying a vehicle for 19k with 140k miles on it, but I hear it is a fair deal. Wanted to get some more thoughts.
Is this an ideal price? Or need to negotiate?
What is a good OTD (out the door final) price for an AWD LE ?
Assuming $2,500 tax/fee/tags (1350+800+350)
$1,350 tax 3%, dealer processing fee $800, DMV $350
We picked up our new Sienna, 2026 LE AWD 8 Pass in heavy metal(incase your wondering) and a few days in I noticed these spots. On both sides when you open the sliding door there is a small like cavity before the step. The area where the door slide goes. Anyways I went back to the dealership, went to service and the manager was like "im not sure if we can fix that" and then had a tech look at it. After about 10 mins he comes back out and says its a plastic cover and is just cosmetic.
While I agree the larger blemish are most likely clear coat, in photo two that looks like under paint bubbling. Also it feels like metal/ is magnetic in my testing (maybe grabing a peices being but cant say for sure)
TLDR: Does anyone know for sure if this is plastic? Should I push to get this fixed? I want to make sure its documented so waiting for the dealer to email me the invoice from today for my notes.
Edit: car has 14kms at time of photo
Here are the photos showing the teardown process for removing the amplifier in a 2023 Toyota Sienna Limited. These amplifiers are known to fail, but instead of paying $1,600 for a brand-new replacement, I picked up a used unit for a few hundred dollars. Since Siennas are so popular, these parts are relatively easy to find on eBay.
I freaking hate the chrome.
Our Woodland came with wheel locks. They aren’t listed on the sticker and we disnt pay extra for them.
Our Woodland did not come with a key for our wheel locks. Our salesman says we have to register them and order a key, but I’m concerned I’d have to pay for something I shouldn’t have (and don’t really want).
Is this normal? Will I have to pay for our first wheel lock key?
Is 57k OTD price for this 2026 Toyota sienna XLE reasonable with these dealer add ons? Thanks in advance.
Anyone else's XSE wheels losing their finish? This is absurd and very poor quality when this happens in the 2nd year of ownership. Any of you were able to get any help from Toyota or dealership?
Didn’t even know my sienna platinum had anti-theft tracking
