Yeah, I’ve said it before and Im saying it now. TRD the Sienna

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

It’ s the crossover families want, but won’ t admit they want. Frankly I think it looks great (though the graphics are a little over the top, and I would want some actual mildly extended flairs) and it would be relatively easy to build. Toyota could even sell a k nockdown kit for val lifers so they can have a custom conversion van that is reliable, fuel efficient, and can handle all the roads you would take something this length and width on anyway.

Sell a FWD version with just the lift and stronger springs and very little frippery.

Sell and AWD version similarly stripped out

Sell the Hybrid AWD version for conversion companies that want to capitalize on the built in house battery capacity for off-grid.

And of course a consumer TRD version, if you don’t want to spoil the TRD/Sienna name in the US call it the Hi-Ace or something.

They needs to build it.

I would totally buy this used. The one thing I don’t like about our Sienna is the soft suspension and dragging ass when it’s loaded up, which is all the time .

I guess there is a company out there that will make you custom rear springs with the same dimensions but 30% more rate.

That’s something I’d love to do, I’m going to look to replace our ‘05 with a newer one when it gets to 200k in the next year or two , and the newer vans have better aftermarket support.

Throw some cladding, flairs, lift, chonky tires, and a roof rack. Add bilsteins for the brand recognition and a TRD sticker and it would be perfect. Maybe a slightly more aggro grill for that crowd. 1 million times better than a Highlander for the group that does not want to drive a mini van so settles on something worse

“I would totally buy this used”

Oh neat, I found the comment explaining why they’ll never make it.

That’s the joke! Glad you got it ;).  The difference is, I won’t complain when the don’t make it, because I know damn well that the people who would like it most would never buy new.

A friend with a Sienna got these inflatable ‘very’ durable bags that go inside the spring. When you’re putting a lot of weight in the back, you air them up and it provides extra rigidity.

I don’t know if they’re worth a damn, but he likes them.

Maybe the zoomers will hate the CUV’s that their parents drove, and we can get bad ass vans. Add a 4runner style rear window and I'd rock it while still single (assuming my company truck situation changes).

It does seem that the slightly lifted and more than slightly clad MPV is the missing component in the all conquering SUVmageddon that we are in...

The thing is way too many people roll around like a normal TRD decal means TRD Pro.

I found the post where the owner outlined the build . I was surprised to discover that it only has a 1" lift on both the front and rear. It looks like it has more. With an additional inch in suspension and maybe another inch in sidewall, it should have about the same clearance as an Explorer.
