- Reliability (5)Widely considered one of the most reliable SUVs ever built, with the 2UZ-FE engine often reaching 300,000 miles or more with proper care.
- Maintenance (4)Parts are widely available and relatively affordable, though the mandatory timing belt service every 90,000 miles is a necessary and significant expense.
- Technology (2)Very dated by modern standards, featuring basic analog controls and a simple audio system, though the power-retractable rear window is a standout feature.
- Comfort (5)Exceptional cabin space with plush seating for up to eight passengers and a ride quality that remains composed even on rougher terrain.
- Dynamics (3)The 4.7L V8 is smooth and capable, but the vehicle suffers from significant body roll and a numb steering feel typical of large, body-on-frame SUVs.
