That will heck a lot of gas money.. As long you had aleast 8 hours of sleep then you can spend less in driving, but plan ahead where you gonna stay and map location. Bring a GPS. You should had inspect the car very well, changing oil etc.. bring all the first aid kit (jumpstart system, inflate tire system, screw driver tools, cellphone, flash line, and some emergy food,)

Change oil and filter, make sure your tires have been recently rotated and are in excellent shape. Further, I woudl make sure that the car has been recently given a "major" factory service by a Toyota dealer.

It is a VERY long walk between gas stations and towns in places like Nebraska. so you don't want to be caught with a breakdown.
You will LOVE Seattle.

Consider a different vehicle for this long trip.

Make sure you have AAA or a similar service, enough money and a credit card for a rental when your car leaves you stranded and is not worth fixing, a gallon of water, an extra battery for your cell phone, and a lot of time to kill waiting for a tow truck.
