Toyota Funcargo 2003 review
The Toyota Funcargo is a small commercial van that was produced by Toyota from 1998 to 2005. It was sold primarily in Japan and other Asian markets, although it was also exported to Europe and other parts of the world. The Funcargo was designed to be a practical and reliable vehicle for small business owners and tradespeople, and it was popular for its compact size, low cost, and fuel efficiency.
The 2003 model of the Toyota Funcargo was powered by a 1.5 liter inline-four engine, which produced 96 horsepower and was paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. It had a carrying capacity of up to 800 kilograms, depending on the model, and could seat up to two people in the front and two in the back. The Funcargo was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive versions, and it had a relatively short wheelbase for improved maneuverability in tight city streets.
One of the key selling points of the Toyota Funcargo was its fuel efficiency. The 2003 model had an average fuel consumption of around 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it an economical choice for small businesses and individuals looking to save on fuel costs. It was also relatively cheap to maintain, with Toyota offering low-cost service packages and a wide network of authorized dealerships around the world.
Despite its practicality and reliability, the Toyota Funcargo was not without its issues. Some owners reported problems with the automatic transmission, particularly in the later models, and there were also reports of engine overheating and other mechanical issues. However, these problems were relatively rare, and the majority of Funcargo owners were satisfied with their vehicles.
Overall, the Toyota Funcargo was a solid and reliable choice for small businesses and tradespeople in the early 2000s. It may not have had the sexiest design or the most powerful engine, but it offered a low-cost and fuel-efficient transportation solution that met the needs of many customers around the world.
