Left Hand Drive, European Import with US - South Dakota title and current registration
The Troopy is considered worldwide to be the the best and most reliable expedition machine on the planet.
I purchased this amazing vehicle from its owner in September 2018 in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta.
I drove it to the US mostly on side and dirt roads with no issues (what a journey and numerous adventures in between).
Its owner had it shipped from Germany and traveled through North, Central and South America, then to Africa and back to South America before settling in Mexico.
It has performed magnifically from Mexico to the deserts and locally, I got to enjoy and get to know it on different conditions and on all roads, highways, mountain passes and beautiful paths to remote beaches.
Everything is extremely well designed and functional, built, equipped and geared for short and long journeys, literally the ultimate expedition camper.
2018 to 2019
Since purchasing it I have invested $$$$ to fine tune and upgrade it. I have all receipts.
Toyota Troopy's have and are being sold across the world (except a few countries) parts and a network of dedicated and knowledgeable assistance is available here in the US and worldwide.
Was able to find parts and amazing mechanic right here in Los Angeles.
