6th Gen is finally here! Solid front axle too!!

Possibly it's a sporty little mid-engine like Toyota made in the 90's? I like to consider it the 911 of minivans Toyota used to build some weird shit. And I love it.

Among the wonderful oddities of the Previa - it has not one, but two front drive shafts. One is for the mechanical fan and other accessories including a possibly supercharger setup. Yeah, a fawkin remote mount supercharger OEM on a Toyota mid engine awd minivan that sits up front. And it's even electric clutched for on-demand boost. Even came with a 5MT option! Some day I'm going to buy one just because it's cool AF.

The below referenced truck:

Appears to be a modified 1985 Toyota 4Runner or a similar speciality model from another market.

In the vein of a 1988 TOYOTA TOYOACE CAB OVER:

Now of course, Toyota did not produce EV's or Hybrid's in the 1980's. But, if you have to have one, there are plenty of mod parts on the market you can cobble together any kind of powertrain you want.

Here’s an old listing for the 4runner when I sold it. I had to convert it back to the run of the mill 1st gen when I sold it. Ha

The lack of a door could be a problem.

It reminds me of the Jeep Forward Control models.

That was one clean and well-maintained machine. My compliments.
