Summary

[edit]
Description Here's a Toyota Probox in Jamaica. The Probox is a light commercial van aimed primarily at small businesses. It can be had with a 1.3-liter four-cylinder with 94 horsepower, a 1.5-liter four-cylinder making 107 hp, or a 1.5 liter hybrid. Because it is aimed at commercial customers, the Probox isn't focused on luxury - it has simple bench seats, a basic gauge cluster and even a radio is optional (customers can always install those later). It comes with basic, no-frills and relatively small but hardy steel wheels, and costs as little as $12,000 new in Japan. Although it is only sold as a new model in the Japanese domestic market, used Proboxes are heavily exported and their simplicity and reliability has made them very common across the developing world. East Africa and the Caribbean are the largest markets for the Probox, and they're a common sight on roads in nations like Kenya, Uganda, and Guyana. The Probox is one of the most common cars you will find on Jamaican roads, and is extremely popular as a route taxi - indeed, it probably is the single most common route taxi on the island today, and if you ever do hitch a ride with a Jamaican taxi driver you will probably end up in one of these.
