    I love Previas. I used to tell people (when I had the AllTrac SE Supercharged version) that I drove the minivan equivalent of a Porsche 911 a turbo. Mid engine, all wheel drive and forced induction. Glorious car!!

      I was never a minivan customer but I remember the sensation caused by the Chrysler Minivan in 1983 (for 84). Toyota came along 7 years later and 4 years after that was the Honda Odyssey. If Toyota had been the only Japanese challenger to the Chrysler Minivan, it would have caught on quickly but Honda had established their reliability and came along with a simpler design, nice appointments, better looks and a lower price.
      I own a Tacoma and I would never purchase a unibody "pickup" like the Honda Ridgeline.

      previas are sick, i have one similar to this that i modded and go camping in (n/a, rwd, slighly less clapped out). theyre good comfy cars with a surprising amount of room and have decent capability with suspension mods. main downside is they're a absolute nightmare to work on (especially when that headgasket goes👎)

    Previa? heck yeah! I love these mini vans in awd platform. I helped maintain 3 of them for over 10 years and even replace a blown motor in one. I live in the brutal winter midwestern Wisconsin and the awd platform was ahead of all its competitors. In the summer heat the over head auxiliary ac unit was so delightful for the rear passengers. I would have gladly donate one to Donut if I had one today.

    Dude Minivan's are so under-rated as vehicles. They get a bad rap as "kid carriers" for middle aged women, but I'll tell ya I rocked my Dodge Caravan through my 20's and loved it. I used to take it off road behind the Six Flags Great Adventure on a fire access road to go be in the woods with my gf. I removed the middle 2 seats and put a memory foam pad down and it was like having an apart on wheels. With the tinted windows we could park virtually anywhere and no one knew we were inside. I took that Caravan to all kinds of places a normal car wouldn't be able to get through. You could tow a trailer with it, it was great on gas, you could put a super sick stereo system in it with all the room - the opportunities are endless. It's a shame they look so dorky because they have the heart of a champion if you look past the outside.

    This was so amazing! I daily'd a Previa for 4 years. Same spec as yours. Most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Legit. What other 30 year old vehicle can you daily with 250k on it and do nothing but oil changes and brakes to in a 4 year span?!
    Side note, that squealing was something mine did too. It was because of water that had gotten in with the freon. Flush your AC system and it should go away. And that sensor that got melted was the VSS so that's why you had those shifting issues. Previa's are so rad man. You guys did an awesome job showing off how great they are.

    This was not one of Donut's most exciting episodes (still excellent content), however, as a Toyota fanatic, this is yet another testament of Toyota's quality and durability. The egg is a fugly car, but the guys tried their best to beat the crap out of it, abuse it, make some drama happen, and the egg said, "nah, I got this."
    Thank you Donut; love y'all.

    Killed one of these during "Cash for Clunkers". I was completely blown away by the mid engine placement, the 4WD drive system and the remote accessory drive. Had a ton of miles on it but still ran forever after putting in the death sauce. I was even more surprised when I learned there was a supercharged and manual trans option.

    I bought an 05 Grand Caravan for $400. Owner said it was overheating. It had barely any oil in it. Fixed the leak, filled it and I used it for work for 2 years. Put 60k miles on it. That thing was awesome. R.I.P.

    All these offroading series over the years and never any just up the road in Tahoe. Come visit, Donut! Run the Rubicon Trail in the Previa. Turn it into a DIY adventure van and hit Adventure Van Expo then go for a overlanding trip. The way I would gasp..

  • @ianprice3556
    @ianprice3556 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh man. Our family van when I was a kid was a Previa! I remember in the snow, we'd get stuck and have to jump up and down in the trunk to get the RWD some traction. They did make an AWD version though.

  • @twilliams99williams50
    @twilliams99williams50 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is pretty sweet! I gave a couple buddies an old Corolla to do the Gambler this year. The only catch was that under no circumstances could they give it back. So, they finished with a car that cost $0!

    Man, I miss my Previa. It did some impromptu off-roading as well, back in the days when you relied on paper maps and maybe the road you were taking didn't exist anymore. Always fun pulling up alongside those shiny pickups and being like "I've gone off-road more in this minivan than you have in your fancy pickup" to myself

    One of my greatest regrets in life was selling the 1991 Previa LE All-Trac that we bought new, with over 260k on it we never had any major issues at all, just an oil leak and AC compressor.

    Competed in the gambler this year because we saw your first video! We also were unable to get a spare, and we ended up popping our tire half way through a trail on Sunday. We had to drive 60 miles into town on a rim and camped out till a tire shop opened on Monday
