2011 xle awd - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I have read all 16 pages on here

Wow some really great info, i think i have found a few things I would like to do someday. So we traded in our 2008 XL-7 Limited AWD with DVD and Nav and decided we wanted the same thing when we bought new. So we drove past the Honda dealer and stopped right next door to try the sienna first. Ended up leaving with a Super White XLE AWD with DVD and Nav and the reclining second row (kids Love it). I really wanted the Limited but the wait was going to be an issue so ended up with XLE and am more than happy with our choice. So this van has pretty much everything i could want, but there's always a mod or 2 that caught my eye. I wouldn't mind picking up the Prestigious NAV/DVD bypass. I also really like the taillights on the SE

Wouldn't mind picking up some 20's and maybe a CAI.

Here's a pic

Almost forgot does anyone have any info on the JBL system? I wouldn't mind replacing some of the speakers and also knowing where they all are and sizes...

Thanks Craig

Congrats on your new purchase. CAI on a van?

congrats on the new sienna! didn't know XLE's were available with recliners! a nice feature to have. If my kids were older i would have elected to get a limited instead of the SE but i still have toddlers in car seats so i have no use for them at the moment. maybe the next sienna when they're older? but for now, daddy got his way with the body kit.

so you read all 16pgs huh? i've been here over a year and never left page 1.

edit: in the sienna forum but a member since 06 for a prior vehicle.

Something to try and get better mpg's the only downfall of the AWD is the MPG...

Oh, I didn't know CAI can help with mpg. I thought they just make more induction noise, aural candy for your ears. Oh Craig, you picked the best color combo

Craig, Congrats on the new sienna. I like your lower chrome moldings, very attractive. I am a new sienna owner and loving it. I just ordered mine from a toyo store.

This forum is the best to my knowledge. Very good people. I got help from the beginning. I am lucky to find so many good friends.

Enjoy...

Congrats

Craig, congrats on the Sienna and welcome to the club! Yes, CAIs can help with MPGs and throttle response. I installed a homebrew CAI on my previous vehicle. MPGs improved about 2% and throttle response decreased by 3%.

Thought of something else I would like to do, come up with some sort of cargo holding net to cover the 8th seat storage spot in the back (i have the 7 seater) so i can put the first aid kit/blankets/whatever i want without it rolling around in the back.
