Apparently testing either the engine cooling or the A/C effectiveness. In summer, Death Valley is the hottest place in the Western Hemisphere. Air temperatures can reach 130 degrees or higher.

It's just nice to know a new one is on the way. There have been no photos, only talk of a new XL40

We don't, but it's a safe bet. 2015 was a refresh, and so was 2018. MY2021 is likely XL40

It looks like it has a version of the new Highlander's grill. Not sure how that will look on a minivan.
