1982 Toyota HiAce Minibus

The Toyota Hiace (Japanese: Hepburn: Toyota Haiēsu) (pronounced "Hi Ace") is a light commercial vehicle produced by Japanese car manufacturer Toyota. First released in October 1967, the HiAce has since been available in a wide range of body configurations, including minivan/MPV, minivan, van, crew van, pickup truck, taxi, and ambulance. Second generation The new 1977 HiAce featured a longer and streamlined cab with single headlights. As the dimensions of the second generation grew, it was joined by a smaller, bonnetless, junior-level van called Toyota LiteAce to continue offering sizes close to the first generation. In addition to gasoline engines, a 2.2-liter diesel engine was offered in certain markets. A novelty for the "20-40 series" HiAce was a pickup truck with a double cab, a van with an extra-long wheelbase and an extra-long commuter bus with a high roof. Suburban models can accommodate up to 15 passengers.[10] The short-wheelbase truck originally had chassis codes of the "H11" series. As for vans, the vans of the 20th series have a short wheelbase, the 30th series has a long one, and the 40th series has an extra-long wheelbase.
