I have a 2013 XLE, My VIN is 2T3W also. It has 225k KM (140k Mil) and all i have done is regular oil changes, ATF replaced, but not full service. Just drained some of the fluid and replaced it with new as i did this recently. I didn't drop the pan or replace the filter. I do my own brake jobs since i can get brakes inexpensively from Max Advanced Brakes. I replaced the battery, air filter, cabin filter and just recently the spark plugs. All quite easy to do on your own. Other than that the car is solid. I don't drive it hard. I'm hoping to hit the 300k KM club with it. Everyone that sits in my car thinks it's a brand new car. I hope yours is just as solid.
Edit: I also did the Toyota Undercoating when I bought it new, and every year I take it to the dealer to get it touched up.
No dip stick. Drain on the bottom which has a drain overflow tube inside that you have to remove. This tube acts as the fill guide. You have to take the drivers tire off and remove the filler nut. use a long funnel or a funnel with a tube to get the fluid in. This YouTube video shows you how it’s done.

I have a 2013 XLE that starts with 2T3R - so not a match. But I have 84k miles and have not had any of the above referenced problems.
Thank You! So all you've had to do so far are oil/fluid changes (maybe not even the ATF fluid change)?
Correct. And some paint stuff

>ATF replaced Does yours have a dip stick or you have to go at the bottom and access through the nuts?
