It’s time for our family’s first adventure wagon to find a new home.
If you’re looking for a rugged, reliable, and rare van that turns heads and tackles backroads, this is it.
This 1987 Toyota Van is the 4WD manual version with a cargo body and added rear seat, a 2-inch lift, and a long list of mechanical upgrades to keep it going strong.
💡 Engine was rebuilt by the previous owner at ~150k, so it has less than 190k on the rebuild.

💬 Why It’s Special

It’s an ideal platform for a camper build, trail rig, or a one-of-a-kind daily driver.
