The 1998 Toyota Camroad uses proven powertrains from Toyota's commercial vehicle lineup - the same 2.5L and 3.0L turbo-diesel engines found in Land Cruisers, HiAce vans, and Dyna trucks. These engines are legendary for running 300,000+ kilometers with basic oil changes and regular maintenance. The compact size (typically under 17.5 feet) makes the Camroad as easy to drive as a pickup truck, with excellent visibility, tight turning radius, and the ability to park in standard parking spaces.
