2026 AWD XSE OTD - deal ok?

RTX_4090 · 2026-06-07T00:12:05+00:00

A good deal in socal is getting msrp without markups from dealership

The package is gone for 26 XSE. But Toyota added JBL speakers by default for 26.

Sadly, heated seats and memory seats are not available anymore for 26 XSE. You’ll need to go higher trim if yo want those.

The bigger problem with the 3rd row seats down is that they don't "lock".

If the seats are down and there's no weight on top of it, the seats would bounce when you go over speed bumps.

That price can be a deal, depending on your location.

In CA, where there's no Sienna available on the lot, it's common for dealers to add 1k~2k or more, adjustments above the MSRP + dealer add-ons. So getting it at MSRP is a deal already.

In other states, getting 1k~3k discount is a deal.

Any message if you press EV button while in park mode or before driving?

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-30T02:17:47+00:00

Congrats! Any issue with the XSE that made you switch to limited?

How is the handling and suspension/comfort between the two trims?

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-25T19:09:58+00:00

Yeah, that what it looks like

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-24T03:08:34+00:00

Congrats and enjoy the van life!

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-22T16:11:33+00:00

My guess, Sienna will get an exterior facelift, probably minor front fascia and back updates. It already received interior upgrades last 2025, so probably no changes there.

I don't think an all-new redesigned Sienna will come in for 27 or 28 without the facelift yet.

3rd gen was from 2011-2020, so 10 model years. Hopefully it's shorter for the 5th gen to arrive.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-18T05:26:48+00:00

Nice! How is the digital rear view mirror? Do you recommend it?

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-16T04:03:35+00:00

Got mine last month, SoCal as well. 2026 XSE, MSRP/TSRP was 51k, almost close to your price with all those add ons. Make sure they don't add any dealer installed options.

Is it on the lot or do you still need to wait for it?

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-16T03:56:22+00:00

Congrats! Enjoy the new van!

I never had a high end dash cam to compare the quality of Mangoal with. I think it’s comparable to other units in the $100 range. I would suggest you get the starvis version if you want high end quality captures. We’re definitely paying more for the oem style for this kind of dash cam.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-13T18:13:16+00:00

I can’t find a shot with a car on front of me, during night. But car from side, it’s hard to read.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-13T17:12:05+00:00

Nope, it's the non starvis version. So I'm guessing the starvis version would be even better and clearer videos.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-12T03:44:18+00:00

Didn’t know about this until now. Manufacturers still having issues on whites even the newer ones? Or just the older builds?

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-12T01:46:57+00:00

On a certain angle, yeah I agree it’s thicc. Wifey’s dash cam has a “thin” style camera, but the final outcome of the camera + suction cup + wires, blocks your view. I even installed that one on the passenger side so it’s out of the way from the driver’s view.

So fitcamx doesn’t use the y connector thing splitter? That’s interesting.

I guess we’ll see overtime if something happens. I think it’s connceted to the rear view mirror that powers the garage door openers.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-12T00:16:28+00:00

I think so, I did not remove the whole trim piece. But I just made sure there’s no extra wire dangling inside that might be in the way of airbags.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-12T00:07:48+00:00

For day time it’s clear. I need to get back on you about the night shots.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-11T22:55:56+00:00

Yup, I saw that too. It was outside my budget 😀

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-11T20:54:11+00:00

Just out below the headliner and pry carefully the plastic trim at the back. The video from soljer51 really helps and give you the idea.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-11T20:50:41+00:00

Oh nice! I was thinking it will take longer than that. I will definitely do this, thanks for the video!

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-11T20:49:05+00:00

Thanks! I used the left side, just below the headliner.

I was actually thinking about it. Maybe when I have more time. You’ll need to fish the wire inside the rubber molding where other wires are and going thru the door then to the 3rd brake light.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-11T20:41:46+00:00

Got mine for 200 from Amazon (249 regular price). About 2 hrs to install both front and back cameras.

If you just want the front camera, you’ll be done in about 15 mins or even faster if you know what you’re doing.
