Choose ACR55 by factory grade period, equipment and condition. Camper conversion is required for eligibility.
| Genuine Toyota grade / period | What buyers get | Equipment to check |
|---|---|---|
| X / G (early) | X is the practical base; G emphasises convenience and passenger comfort | Power sliding doors, seating layout, navigation and trim vary by vehicle |
| AERAS (pre-2016) | Sports-style exterior with dedicated bumpers/wheels | HID/LED lighting and side doors depend on year |
| AERAS Leather Package / Premium Edition (year-specific) | More premium seat and interior finishes | Genuine leather trim and electric passenger conveniences should be verified against the factory grade |
| AERAS Premium / Smart / Premium-G (2016–2019) | Facelift-era AERAS family, progressing through comfort and finish upgrades | Premium-G is a higher specification; Smart and Premium are different equipment mixes rather than universal trim ranks |

|---|---|
| Powered sliding doors / powered tailgate | Factory equipment varies with build month and grade; identify from the auction sheet and Toyota specification |
