At least I know what makes a Previa tick too and how to work on them, unlike my 2013 Avalon that I can't even get the radio to work in and will have to take it to a dealership to get it fixed, again.

The Previa would also likely need that kind of complicated service less often. I'd probably have to change the SADS bushings and radiator hoses, but after that one of those should be a reliable minivan.
