However, it is not a short-body version sold in the U.S. and has been modified for the Japanese market. The exterior design is wild and SUV-like, and the ride quality has been carefully tuned.

Common Issues With Used Toyota Vanguard

Some problems with a vehicle only become apparent after many years of use. However, others are technical issues where manufacturers are forced to issue a recall.

If the manufacturer corrects the issue in time, it most likely will not affect the reliability of your Vanguard. However, there are instances where an issue may have gone unresolved.

For example, a previous owner may not have known about a recall. Alternatively, they may have ignored the manufacturer's recall recommendation.

Fortunately, manufacturers provide needed maintenance for defects for an unlimited amount of time. Accordingly, you'll want to have your mechanic check if any recall fixes were missed if you purchase a used Toyota Vanguard. You can start by having the mechanic check your vehicle history with the VIN number.

Vanguards, especially with 2AZ engines, have been reported to have problems with engine stalls and idling instability due to faulty ISCVs.

Popular Usage

As Vanguard was designed as user-friendly, the ways of using it are varied.

This car looks cool and can be used like a family car, but it also has the characteristics of an SUV, making it as wild as its claim to be a medium luxury SUV.

The Vanguard is available in 2WD and 4WD, with the 4WD version being more stable in snow and on rough roads, and this stability is the secret behind its popularity. It is also reputed to be quiet.

Rivals of Toyota Vanguard

A typical competitor of the Toyota Vanguard is the Honda 3rd generation CR-V.
The third generation CR-V debuted in October 2006, the year before the Vanguard, and has changed its position from a small crossover SUV to a luxury mid-class crossover SUV like the Harrier.

While the top-of-the-line grades were similarly priced for both the Vanguard and CR-V, the Vanguard was powered by a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, while the CR-V was powered by a 2.4-liter straight-4 engine with 170 horsepower for all models. It is clear that Vanguard had a large margin of victory in terms of power performance of the higher grades.
