Used car buyer's brief
What owners love. What breaks at typical mileage. What people are actually paying. Then run the VIN through EstimateProof for $25 before you sign anything.
Owners rave about the 3.5-liter V6 paired with the 8-speed automatic—it delivers 295 horsepower without feeling sluggish around town, and the transmission rarely hunts for gears on highway merges. The third-row seat folds flat into the floor instead of popping out, which means a family can actually fit luggage behind it. Most 2021 owners hit 80k miles with zero transmission drama, a stark contrast to earlier generations.
Around 40k–60k miles, some owners report a grinding noise from the front differential during tight turns, though Toyota hasn't issued a recall; inspection costs run $300–$500 to confirm. Paint peeling on the roof and hood has been flagged in NHTSA complaints, especially on white and silver units in humid climates. A smaller group reported infotainment system freezes requiring a hard reboot, typically resolved by 2022 model-year software updates.
Under 60k miles: $38,000–$42,500. 60k–100k miles: $34,000–$39,000. Over 100k miles: $29,000–$34,500. LE and XLE trims command lower prices; Platinum and Limited four-wheel-drive models push the ceiling. Clean Carfax and full service records add $2,000–$3,500; accident history and high-mileage fleet units shave $3,000–$5,000 off asking price.
Ranges are typical 2026 asking prices, not appraisals. The actual fair offer depends on this specific car's title history, accident record, and open recalls — which is what EstimateProof tells you.
