IF SO, probably OK for weight distribution and >low load height in the back, but its a good thing its a Toyota, because that >seems like a real pain/messy to work on. Centrally under the seats, like the smaller Totota van. The entire floor apparently hinges back for access, I'm told... I've only managed top open the passenger side (lid's in 2 parts). Engine is lifted out if necessary. The Estima (=Previa) flat-4 is a real oddball, with the engine on the right side of the vehicle, so that the crank centers on the vehicle's centerline.
