Not too many options are on the van, but it's still a nice upgrade. I'm hoping it will be very reliable since it's a Toyota.
Long story:
I joined here many years ago when I had a full size 1993 Chevy G20 conversion van that my dad had given me. It was a great van and the Chevy forum here was a huge help when I had trouble with the thing. to save money, I did all the work myself on the van. It was great for taking my son and a bunch of Boy Scouts on camping trips. Lots of room and super comfortable on long trips.
I got rid of the Chevy van due to the massive amount of rust underneath the thing and because I had gotten a 1991 Ford Crown Victora from my grandmother. The Crown Vic served me well for many years, but was leaking a lot of oil and I really didn't want to spend the time and money on a rebuild of the engine. When one of our other cars was paid off, I got rid of the Crown Vic and replaced it with a new to me 2013 Toyota Sienna minivan.

As a van, I really don't like the Sienna as much as the Chevy G-20 I had before. I liked the 350 and RWD on the Chevy.
But, the mileage is way better in the Sienna. In the Sienna I get 21 mpg mixed city/highway and about 25 mpg highway. In the G-20 I got about 14 mpg.
I've been thinking about building a removable platform for a twin sized mattress for the Sienna with storage underneath for trips. But, I'll likely wait until warmer weather before I start taking measurements and drawing up plans.
