I wish I could remember the exact model but it is a rather new model and has a faux SUV X-Over appearance at first. It is modified for his wheel chair with a liftgate, missing middle row seats and a wheel chair locking device on the floor of the passenger side. It cost them $40,000 before fiananceing. It had 1500 mileson it when I first say it.It looked like a 3.5V6. I checked the oil and it was 1 quart low. The wife and I took him to another relatives house. I let her drive and I sat in back. They turned the AC on wich worked very well. The on of the rear AC vents though feel out of the head liner and hit me in the head. I put it back in wich was a simple matter of inserting and twisting.
Later that night my wife said to me that she was not impressed with the van. She compented on how cheap all of the plastics and controls felt. SHe also thought that it did not drive well either interms of engine responce, steering feel, and brakeing. She comented on how our el-cheapo bare bones $17,000 dollar Camry was much better all the way around!!! I then told her about how one of the rear ac vents feel out and hit me on the head. Now remeber that my wife has driven only Ford and GM products and John Deer farm equipment since she was 8 years old until meeting me. She was actualy operateing a combine in the field unsupervised at the age of 8 years old. SO she has been around the block a bit in terms of Detroit steel and Heavy Equipment. Here kid brother used to use a Catapillar to build his snow forts in the winter time. I saw him do this when he was 12 or 14 years old and laughed my but off.
I think I spoiled her buy letting her drive my old 4Runner for so long and then the 2001 Dakota Quad Cab. Plus Mom and Dad only own Toyota's and we always end up borrowing something of theirs so she also see's what Top of the line models are like.
I will say this all of the panels had nice fit. The paint was excellent!!! THe fit of the interior other then the AC vent falling out was tight.The AC was cooled. The vechile though felt lose and had a lot of vibration. I could feel the unibody flexing on really nicely maintained dirt roads. The dash had a lot of sqeaks and the audio system sucked!
