1986 Toyota Van 1 ton cargo van review from North America
"An excellent performing and long lasting vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has EVER gone wrong with this vehicle has been a blown water pump at 234,463 miles.
General comments?
This has been one of the most fantastic vehicles our family has ever owned. We bought it brand new with W.S.U. cougar colors put into the interior when it was converted by the dealer to a passenger van from the cargo version. We have gone all over the 48 states with it and still do to this day. It is now configured back into a cargo configuration as we use it to help move extended family members in many different states now. We have remained a very loyal Toyota family due to the outstanding cars that Toyota keeps putting out year after year.
