Frequently Asked Questions for Alhambra Drivers
Q: Which Toyota is best for Uber XL and the new Uber XXL category in 2026?
-
The 2026 Toyota Sienna in Alhambra remains the gold standard for Uber XL. For those aiming for the new Uber XXL tier (requiring 6+ passengers and over 27 cubic feet of trunk space), the Grand Highlander Hybrid and Sequoia are your top earners, providing the massive cargo capacity needed for elite airport requests.
Q: Can I use Section 179 for my Uber vehicle in 2026?

Yes. For the 2026 tax year, qualifying "Heavy" SUVs with a GVWR over 6,000 lbs—including the Grand Highlander Hybrid, Sequoia, and Tundra—may qualify for a Section 179 deduction of up to $32,000 in the first year, plus additional bonus depreciation. Always consult a tax professional for 2026-specific limits.
Q: What is the best warranty for a high-mileage Uber driver?

While standard warranties have limits, our Certified by Toyota (TCUV) Gold vehicles provide a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty.
