Overlanding has exploded in popularity, but it’s normally the domain of pickups and SUVs. However, that hasn’t stopped one owner from creating a rugged Toyota Sienna.
Currently listed on eBay with a buy it now price of $21,997 (£17,832 / €20,856), this modified minivan is ready for adventure as it features a 3 inch (76 mm) lift and 16-inch steelies wrapped in meaty BFGoodrich KO2 tires.
While those upgrades will help you venture off the beaten path, you’ll need a place to sleep once you get there. Fear not as this minivan is equipped with a pop up roof tent, which appears to accommodate two people.

The seller didn’t say much else about the 106,000 mile (170,590 km) minivan but, since it’s a 2004 Sienna XLE, it should come nicely equipped with heated leather front seats that feature eight-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. Other highlights should include a tri-zone automatic climate control system, woodgrain trim, rear sunshades, and HomeLink. Bidders can also expect to find a “Split & Stow” third-row seat and a 10-speaker JBL Synthesis audio system with a cassette and CD player.
Under the hood, there’s a 3.3-liter V6 engine that pumps out 230 hp (172 kW / 233 PS) and 242 lb-ft (328 Nm) of torque. While the 2004 Sienna was available with an optional all-wheel drive system, it appears this version is front-wheel drive as the listing claims the van “routinely betters the factory-stated 28 HWY MPG.” That’s worth mentioning as the front-wheel drive variant had an estimated fuel economy rating of 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, while the all-wheel drive model was listed at 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
