Ideal as a year-round family hauler, fun weekend camper, or cool corporate cruiser, this Japanese Classic does just about everything well.

Exterior Overview

The HiAce is a practical, luxurious, and efficient hauler. This 1999 is not only cushy, but capable and sports a gutsy turbodiesel and surefooted FullTime 4WD. Finished in a classic Desert Dune Over Purplish Gray (2BY), this seven-seater is set off by gunmetal refinished deep dish Hilux Surf alloys and features facelift bodywork spanning the headlights, bumper, grille, and bonnet. Aside from a few light dings, chips, and scuffs the paint is in good nick and this van is fresh off a recent service, boasting only 118k verified and documented miles on the clock, this tremendous Toyota is barely broken in. Ideal as a year-round family hauler, fun weekend camper, or cool corporate cruiser, this Japanese Classic does just about everything well. Unique and trustworthy transporters like these are affordable to everyone and can go almost anywhere a truck can!

Interior Overview

The cabin received an update and includes a number of impressive power equipment and safety items. Rare optional sill protectors keep the entry points from becoming damaged with scuffs and dents when loading passengers and cargo. The dashboard lacks any cracking and fading and dual SRS airbags are standard equipment. The driver can find the ideal driving position thanks to an electrically adjustable steering column and a power driver’s seat. The gauges are easy to read thanks to a new backlit design and the OEM wood grain steering wheel makes the pilot feel awful classy! Power folding mirrors and power locks work and make daily use more enjoyable, too. The center stack includes a dealer-optional touchscreen head unit to provide a soundtrack to your drive. Below the automatic climate control spews piping hot heat or cold A/C depending on your preference. Rear occupants have their own dedicated controls and climate zones. Getting into the back is seamless as the sliding door opens wide and soft closes when left ajar, preventing your battery from draining. If you prefer more natural ventilation, the HiAce includes pop-out side glass, power windows, and a suite of sunroofs that dot the roof. The front unit is manual and tilts upward as does the rear, albeit with the press of a button. The middle panoramic moonroof is most impressive and can fully unfurl so you can sleep below the stars.  The seats are trimmed in a soft tan cloth. They lack any major rips, stains, or tears. The middle row can swivel 180 degrees to face the rear and the rear bench can slide fore and aft. You can even combine all the seats into a pseudo-sleeping surface! The headliner and door cards are in good shape, as are the carpets although there are a few light stains from daily use. Even the owner’s manuals and maintenance booklets are included with the purchase of this lovely van.

Mechanical Overview

This chassis features a low center of gravity and tight turning radius for those who plan to dash around the city or cruise some dusty backroads. Propulsion comes from the legendary turbodiesel 1KZ-TE, which is fresh off an oil and filter service. A new 12v battery aids ignition and a new fuel filter was installed to keep unwanted contaminants out of the engine. We replaced the tired old air cleaner with a new one, too. The 1K is linked to a stout automatic gearbox. Shifts feel reassured and this HiAce gets up to merging speeds quickly when you mash the throttle. It also slows down impressively well thanks to standard ABS brakes. The suspension is soft and offers tons of ground clearance. One of our trained techs has improved the ride quality by installing two front shocks. We performed a hub service and installed a right front axle boot to further shore up the driveline. The small wheelbase aids maneuverability and this HiAce is easy to park in the tight confines of the city. The OEM Hilux Surf wheels have been refinished and wrapped in new grippy TOYO rubber. The new tires quell road noise and will last for tens of thousands of miles to come thanks to a fresh alignment. The power steering is light and this baby tracks straight as an arrow. Turn key and ready to rock, this HiAce is the full package, and will be a hoot and a holler to drive on American pavement!
