From Top Gear at its peak - The Minivan racing episode where Richard Hammond likened the mid-engined Previa to a Ferrari.
Historic People Carrier Racing - Top Gear - BBC
Blog about mostly the first version of Toyota Previa. Previas are affectionately called "eggvans", "eggs", or "beans", because of their shape. They are reliable and fits in a normal swedish garage. Mid engine makes them very road worthy. They will become classics.. Toyota at it's prime; within the 90-era everything from Toyota was bulletproof, from the Lexus ls400 to corolla (including Starlets and Previa)

..."working on a budget of less than $100, so I will add more later.
That is a normal full size single bed, with a really comfy Sealy innerspring mattress, heaps of storage underneath and I can sit on it without hitting my head on the roof!.. picked it up on Gumtree for $40, and there is still room for my kitchen at the back."

Getting to top bolts for strut mount
How to get access to the top bolts for strut mount.
The passenger side is doable with a tiny wrench from the underside if you don't mind scraping up your hand. Underside of dash that is
Found removing the cover under the steering wheel made it easier.
Thanks for pictures from Robert Jackson

Toyota Previa as a work horse
Always nice seeing some Previa hauling things..
Photo by Jack Blabey
--------------- Another work horse ------------

-------------- ----------
Towing a caravan, no problem.. This is a Solifer 5502i from 1988. Measured the Engine Coolant Temperature when towd this caravan, about 95 degrees, just as normal.
Will Miller Jacobs hauling scooters. Picture below.
"This 28 foot trailer is heavy, but the van pulled it down to the curb without any issues. Best minivans ever made." - J. Blabey
Ted towing trailer
Sergio towing, have painted sides white.
Daniel is towing a Toyota Previa. Pretty heavy load!
Be careful out there.
SC an NA are rated at 3500lbs with a 350lb tongue weight. That being said, if you're hauling a bigger load I'd definitely use trailer brakes.

RedTrike Glenn has loaded his Previa:
10 2x4x10
250 fence planks
About 1500 pounds
