This 1996 Toyota Townace Super Extra Limited is an Underrated 4WD 5-Speed JDM Van

[@betweenthebennyandme]

I ment to mention here however long ago but I went and bought this van and drove it back to Portland. It's been my daily driver for a little while now and I love the thing. I did need to have the radiator replaced and the 3 hour drive home after the thing sitting for so long has oil coming out the rear main but these are thing you need to expect for a low milage vehicle that's as old as this. I plan to keep the interior how it is and do a 2" lift and throw some more aggressive tires on it. Thank you for reviewing the van it gave me more confidence in taking the leap.

Hey I was curious what mpg you get get out of it and what speed/rpm it does like at say 70mph what rpm is it turning?

[@sewwandithennakoon3307]

This is wonderful video .I have a 91 town ace that I can't get rid of it will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Классный автомобиль,сам катаюсь на таком в Сибири, очень удобный и вместительный.

[@manujadesilva22]

My grandpa had one of these back in the day; albeit it was the base model. Where do you film your videos ? The setting and scenery is so beautiful

[@bendaga]

Ah so cool that you can associate this with your grandpa. Great vans. This is just a quiet street that I found to go to film. Nothing too crazy. But regardless, appreciate the kind words.

These are AWESOME! I’ve been living in a ‘93 townace 4wd camper down here in NZ for almost 3 years now. I want to take it with me when I return to Canada it’s so good!

There's so many interesting Japanese cars from the 90s and the Townace especially as a 4WD has to be one of the coolest. I used to drive a regular 94 Townace through New Zealand and I saw quite a few of them there. Just like in Japan they drive on the left in New Zealand so Japanese cars are popular imports, which was cool because I got introduced to so many cars that I have never seen in Europe. Anyway great video, keep it up!

Such a cool obscure older toyota!

[@bendaga]

Definitely! Like a spaceship haha

There is one here local to me that a lady drives gold in color. I own a 1987 Nissan Van XE base model I bought from California almost 2 years ago.

Most futuristic design minivan ever seen...perfect for Mars 😁

I liked the shift stick . Believed it or not !.

[@alfredritcher]

Kinda reminds me of the Toyota previa but very different, nice video

[@bendaga]

I’m sure there are some similarities between the previa and townace. Thanks!

[@VictorGonzalez-yj9wm]

What’s the top speed and what kind of MPG does this get

[@shanakasenevirathne2940]

Wonderful

[@GeorgeStar]

How difficult is it shifting with your left hand?

[@kampuput619]

Bendaga, is this the smallest van that could ride 8 people? Seems to be just slightly longer than a kei van, which is astonishing. Looks like it could be a fun off-road van too.

[@bendaga]

Good question. For 8 people a hiace or nissan homy may be good options to look into if you want something in the realm of a jdm van.

[@kampuput619]

@@bendaga But if my garage is just around 190 inches, and I still want to have a small van that can potentially carry 8 people, is the TownAce/LiteAce the only option?

[@lyimoej7198]

You should also try toyota noah

[@morgandarcey1562]

Dope video

[@bendaga]

Appreciate it Morgan!

[@j_ro]

this thing has genuine charm, how foreign!

[@emmanuelmwaipungu2842]

I need that car

[@dizzzy69]

I would give you a finders fee if you could find that van again, seriously. I want to convert it to a solar car

[@LamaniteLiving]

Would you like one? I have two for sale in Utah that are in premium condition. One had 40k miles, the other 75… let me know

[@baharalam7362]
