Because some genius in Japan wanted to know what would happen if you put a 4×4 drivetrain into a van.
Dats gud battlecar
What’s the mirror on the back for?
I’ve seen those in city work vans. I think they’re just for knowing how close to the curb you are or if someone’s behind you.
Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks!

These are actually a bit of a cult classic in Australia. Very desirable, great 4wd campers.
My guess is the photo is from Australia. The load on the roof implies it, and it kind of looks like Inskip Point, getting onto the Fraser Island ferry.
I could be way off and it’s somewhere completely different. But it’s a memorable vibe and part of the world I obv won’t forget.
I see them around the US as well. But, not many. They’re really expensive relative a common domestic 4WD van.
Japanese cars are more expensive than American here also.
My 14’ trailer, build out to live in it, and my truck to tow it combined cost less than what’s in the OP.
… And there is a very good reason for this
It’s more a case of some genius in Japan wanting to know what would happen if you put a van body on a Mitsubishi Shogun.
I love it.
Hell yeah brother

Will do, brother!
The snorkel brings up the value from just 20 grand to 96k on Craig’s list.
Can’t you add a snorkel afterwards? Can’t imagine that’d cost 75k.
Look at the snorkel on that bad boy.
It’s practically daring you to try it as a submarine!Low pressure off-road tires and sexy clearance too. That car is properly kitted!
Wait why is it a shitpost. It’s a perfectly cromulent car.
Whoever owns that van is probably a hoopy frood in the best of ways
