Absolutely! Its boxy shape makes the most of interior space. I converted mine and couldn’t be happier.

The low roof models are too cramped for comfortable living, but they're okay. Choose a high top or a different van.

They’re great for weekend trips, but I wouldn’t want to live in one full time. There is not enough width compared to some other vans.

In the current market, they’re good, but overpriced. Other van models can get you more bang for your buck.

Simple conversions are great with the older models. The newer ones have more creature comforts, but are harder to modify.

It depends on your height. It's a bit cramped for being 6'2". Although my shorter friends love their HiAce campers.
Off road or rough terrain conditions, how do HiAce vans perform?

Surprisingly capable! I’ve put mine on some pretty rough forest roads with no issues. It'll never be a rock crawler.

Terrible idea. They're not off roading built. Expensive repairs are what you'll be asking for.

With the right mods, they can take quite a bit. I've added a lift kit and AT tires and it's served me well for mild off road use.

They're okay on gravel roads, nothing too crazy. If you can find one, the 4WD versions are much better.

I work in rural areas and use mine for that. On muddy farm tracks, it copes ok, but I wouldn't take it too far beyond that.

I think they are more capable than what people give them credit for, but they are no Land Cruiser. If you know its limits, you will be fine.

I've seen HiAces in pretty remote parts of Australia doing well. It’s all about the skill of the driver and not pushing too hard.
The Toyota HiAce; is it really as bulletproof as people say?
30 December 2024 12:29
Absolutely! I’ve had my HiAce over 10 years now at 500,000 km and it’s still going strong. They build these things like tanks.

It's invincible, but only good. My mine needed a new transmission at 300,000 km. It’s still impressive, but not exactly bulletproof.

The older models were tanks, as the newer ones aren't quite as robust. They're not to the same extreme, but they're still reliable.

I think it depends on the way you treat it. I’m religious about maintenance, mine has been bulletproof. Any vehicle you neglect, will let you down.

Bulletproof? No. Very reliable? Yes. They exaggerate, but they are actually genuinely solid vans if you look after them.

I'm a mechanic and as such I can attest that HiAces are one of the most reliable vans I work on. They’re not immune to problems, particularly if they are neglected.
