2012 SIENNA LE AWD V6

[Stumpuller6.5]

Any input?

Been looking to trade in the Pickup (the 2010 GMC) once the general is road ready. As we will have 3 kids (as of tomorrow!!!) , room is required, yes they can fit in the truck, but 3 side by side and which certainly could cause some issues!

Toyota seems to be the only manufacturer to have an AWD 7 passenger vehicle, I went and looked at one yesterday, along with a Honda Odessy, and Nissan Quest. (Nissan is ugly as sin btw!!!, they knocked over a Frigidare and put wheels on it!! ) Anyways....

Am I missing any other vehicle options? and are there any issues with the Sienna??

Thanks Peeps.

True, But keeping fuel in the bitch is then no different then the truck....

OH and they cost a hell of a lot more. The LE AWD sienna lists about 13k less then a base tahoe, let alone a suburban.

You never mentioned MPG's being a concern.

Buy a gently used 2009 or so.

If I HAD to drive a mini-van, a Honda Odessy is the only one I would consider. I have a few friends who have Odessy's and they love them.

Sorry, I'm just not a Toyota fan.

Personally, I would gladly pay for gas in a Suburban though.

I should be able to trade straight over the truck for a new one, don`t mind throwing in a few k to do it too. We would be keeping this vehicle a lot longer than any of our vehicles... dunno:

I`ll keep my eye out as well for good used, but just looking for an easy transaction.

Wouldn't your truck be pretty easy to sell on your own? You would get some more money out of it that way.

Used trucks around here are hard to come by...at least ones that aren't torn to crap.

That would easily be my second choice, but not having AWD is a big thing. I`m not going to have a 4wd truck to lend out if the snow is too deep for the van in the winter...

Iron-fisted

After all, who said the Sienna won't guzzle a lot of gas?
