For those who are looking for the ultimate HiAce, look no further. This 1996 is decked out to the fullest, with several incredible upgrades and decent OEM options. Finished in a modern looking Cavalry Blue (8W2) with a Super White (040) roof and accents, this eight-seater is accessorized with a front spare tire carrier, OEM rear spoiler, LED light bar, Ironman 4x4 awning and integrated snorkel. Add in a Terzo roof ladder, Bridgestone alloy wheels, side and rear nerf bars, Rhino Rack crossbars, a full-size cargo basket, a 2" lift and you might just have the perfect van. Aside from some chips, dings, and scrapes the paint is in good nick and is completed with a one-off vinyl graphic. Fresh off a recent service, this diesel beast is turn key ready to rock and fresh off a recent service. Having logged only 151k verified and documented miles, this 4WD hauler is barely broken in. Perfect for a week at the beach, shuttling the kids to school, and as a daily driven treat, this Super Custom Limited Toyota can't be beaten.
The cabin is a comfortable place, and is covered with premium materials and offers loads of space. The driver has a decent command of the road thanks to the cabover design. Head and shoulder room are plentiful and the dashboard lacks any cracking or fading. It houses dual SRS airbags for those who may be safety conscious. The driver benefits from a tilt-adjustable steering column, and the functional power locks make daily use more enjoyable. The center stack is within reach and features a digital dual-zone climate control system. Easy to operate, with dedicated rear heat, cooling, and rear passenger controls, this van is set up for year-round use. If the cold A/C isn't your thing, and you prefer more natural ventilation, the power front windows retract, the rear side glass pops outward, and the three moonroofs can be opened for a breeze. The front unit is manual and the two rear are powered assemblies. Sleeping under the stars is a must, as the massive middle panoramic roof slides back for a view of the heavens above. The middle row swivels 180 degrees and can also lay flat to connect with the front and rear seats creating a humungous sleeping surface from the front of the van to the back. Entering the rear is easy, as the door opens wide, and soft closes to prevent the battery from draining. The seats are upholstered in a soft blue and gray cloth. They lack any major rips, stains, or tears and are soft to the touch. Aftermarket audio supplies tunes through the cabin to supplement the turbodiesel soundtrack. Aside from some vinyl damage by the rear sliding door, the cabin is in good nick and the door cards, headliner and carpets have withstood the past 25 years without sustaining major wear and tear.
The mid-engine, full-time 4WD layout pays dividends for driving dynamics. Despite the HiAce's tall profile, it handles better than you think with its low center of gravity and 1KZ-TE mounted midship. Fresh off an oil and filter service, the 3.0L churns to life care of a new 12v battery. A new engine air filter and new fuel filter aid this engine in running seamlessly, as do a new set of serpentine belts. One of our trained techs also replaced the leaky valve cover gasket with a new one. Mated to an automatic transmission, the four-banger provides enough power to get up to highway speeds without breaking a sweat. To slow down, new rear brake liners have been installed while we attending to a right rear axle seal replacement. We also replaced the front left outer axle boot to shore everything up! The ride quality is decent thanks to the recently replaced SkyJacker shocks and the front torsion bars are jacked up a bit to match. New lower ball joints give the suspension a new lease on life and new sway bar end links were also taken care of. A fresh alignment was performed so that this Toyota goes right where you point it and the Goodyear all-terrain tires are knee-deep in tread!
