I took it in 2012 as an alternative to the usual HiAce and was not mistaken. Warm, due to a large gasoline engine installed in front (under the seats of the Hayes), and a well-insulated interior and two stoves. Warms up quickly and cools slowly. It holds any road well (independent suspension and springs from the rear), quite nimble, even fully loaded. Of course it is very convenient and comfortable. Well, rear-wheel drive is what you need for a truck! ... he threw out all the sofas, covered the carpets with linoleum ... the rear three-seater sofa can be put in 5 minutes.

It's bad that now they are not released .... Alphard and Wellfire are certainly handsome, but they are not suitable as trucks. The seats did not squeeze much, eliminated by putting nuts under the rear sleds.

An honest good car, sturdy and reliable. Good for both family and campaign travel. I use it as a truck, in 5 years I have covered more than 70 thousand. Repair costs did not exceed 100 thousand rubles (mainly suspension and transmission parts (bearings, silent blocks, oil seals, shock absorbers, oils and special fluids

Passable, comfortable to operate

For this age, it is a sin to talk about shortcomings.

I have a typewriter for 8 years in 2001. For all the time I changed the salenblocks and the bumper (my wife did her best). The permeability is excellent, in winter it is not possible to put it into a skid, everything works. There are probably two minuses: fuel consumption in the city of Magadan in winter is about 18 in the city. Summer 12. The second minus - the steering rack rumbles on the dirt road, you can change it, but there are much more pluses, the cross-country ability will surprise anyone. Such a hard worker. On fishing and dacha things are irreplaceable. On gravel and sand it goes well, but grumbles a little. unhappy

Reliable automatic transmission and engine, Inexpensive to operate, Good design for his age, Good cross-country ability, Unpretentious, Unbreakable

5 gears are missing, Poorly controlled more than 140 km 2001 Toyota RAV 4  per hour, Large consumption of 12 liters per 100 km, Harsh, Not comfortable compared to the Germans

What can I say Toyota is Toyota, not the most whimsical car, I had a lot of cars in my family, now there are two such Rafs, Hodovka is very tenacious, nothing breaks, Comfortable enough, especially after Shumkov, heaven is earth. Very nimble, high-spirited acceleration up to 120 km / h, then it is already sluggish. About 5 years ago, spare parts were very expensive, only the original. Now there are a lot of substitutes that run longer than the original, for example, the stabilizer struts, the original had to be changed every half a year, after I put the Chinese ones at 300 rubles apiece, for more than 3 years, they do not knock, they work like a clock, I can say the same about the anthers of pomegranates. For all the time I changed: the rear hubs, according to the regulations, they change by 100 thousand km, and so it happened, both hummed as they exceeded 100 thousand km. I changed the struts in a circle, both ball struts, the same stabilizer struts, two ignition coils, and a bypass belt. Apart from the regular replacement of pads, filters and oil, that's all. The car does not rattle anywhere, it is dry everywhere, there is nowhere leaking. City consumption 12 liters per 100 km. Moreover, I do not travel as a pensioner. Is it worth buying this afto, I will say YES, since it was in this body that they conquered the whole world, the most reliable Japanese assembly, everything is terribly high-quality and simple, that there is nothing to break in this car. I have two raf4 and I will say that the second one is just as happy. If not for moving far, I would not sell this car. It is clear that when compared with the Germans, the comfort may not be the same, but the Germans are very crap, require constant maintenance and

infusion of energy and money. And this car sat down and drove off and you don’t think that something could break down ... The permeability is at a height, it doesn’t even try to bury itself on the sand, it’s not trying to bury itself in the snow until you sit on your belly, rushing like a tank. Moreover, this model locks the front end in L mode. Plus ABS anti-slip stops a
