Is the 07 T4R SR5 V6 2WD (53,000 mi) Automatic Transmission fluid Lifetime under normal driving conditions? Is Lifetime good color vs brown before black when it’s checked (at the fill plug cold or worm not running)? Is towing “occasionally” a small 15’ Fiberglass Boat 35HP Engine 3-4 trips or 4’ X 7’ Utility Trailer considered Special Driving Conditions?

Lifetime or 100,000 miles or 10 years...
It is a lifetime fluid for the first owner who buys new and keeps the vehicle for 7 years driving 100,000 miles...
After that its not lifetime fluid. You will need to service it at 100,000 miles. Since you are at 53k you probably have some time. I would change it at 10 years (2017) to be up on the preventative maintenance.

Thanks for the Good Info to follow-up on. I have the 07 T4R with 53,000 (purchased 2010) and have driven 3,000 mi a year at the best since my 03 retirement.
My Daughter has a 2010 Highlander that shows no real maintenance above Oil and Filters (oil, cabin, intake) and Tire Rotation (until 120,000, I believe). I am more concerned about helping her managing needs @ 10-20,000 mi a year (depending on the Job’s position).
Is it common for the Dealer to monitor and remind her during her Oil, Filters and Tire maintenance's there? I do my own oil at 1 yr or 3,000 mi and Cabin and Intake Filters as needed. *Is the Dealer’s cost differences vs Auto Store worth me doing her Cabin and Intake filters for a savings. I use their oil filters on my T4R but have never checked their Cabin or Intake cost.
In 2001 I purchased a case of oil filters from them to carry my Wife’s 2001 Camry through its 10 yr/100,000 mi warranty that was a big savings (at least 2.00 ea and my own oil 5-30 wt Castrol from Wal-Mart with their approval. They would also make changes on coupons Rates using my purchased filter and oil.
