Toyota Hiace swb barn doors 2000

5 star review

I’ve had my Hiace 2.4d for about 7 years and it’s just failed mot for the first time, needing two front shocks and anti roll bar link arms, costing £200 plus vat to get these sorted. Its done 93000 miles as a landscapers van, lugging 1 ton bags of aggregates around on a regular basis. It’s the best van I’ve ever had, apart from the Toyota Hilux pick up I had previously and the only reason I got rid of it was due to it being petrol and a bit thirsty. The Ford p100 I had was absolutely rubbish and the Maestro van was like driving about in a hard tyred wheel barrow. I had a vw golf car for the same time as the Hiace and that cost me a fortune (gearbox, springs, suspension, suspension, suspension, brakes, brakes) so when the water pump went, I fixed it then got rid and bought a Toyota Corrola (made in Japan) and it’s far better to drive than the golf and it is proving equally as reliable as the van. I just wish Toyota would make a slightly smaller van.

Toyota Hiace Powervan 2000

5 star review

I bought this van a year ago when it was 10 years old with only 80,000 miles on the clock. It needed a new wishbone and bushes for the MOT and now needs the glow plugs replacing, but as for a robust and reliable van, I couldn’t have done better.

Toyota Hiace 2000

5 star review

I’ve had my Hiace about 11 years from new. Done 230 000 miles and only replaced tyres and break discs/pads. Best van out there by far. Have to replace it now though because of the low emmisions zone. Boo!

Toyota Hiace powervan swb 2000

5 star review

My last van was a VW t4 and cost £5,500. It was all a bit too posh and sophisticated for me, so I sold it and got my powervan 8 months ago for £1,500 and I love it! It’s done 165,000 miles. Good points: Instant starter even in -15c, fantastic build quality, no rust, can legally carry 1210kg and handles well under a full load, I get 35 mpg, great to drive and feels totally solid and reliable, basic and easy to maintain, low geared so plenty of torque. Bad points: The low gearing makes it unsuitable for those who want to cruise at 80 mph (which is fine for me..I think we should all chill out and slow down a bit!) Overall, I’m happier with this van compared to all the others I’ve had. It’ll last me many years, I wont be selling it. You can keep yer over-priced Transporters and rusty Vitos etc. The Toyota powervan is built to last!

Toyota Hiace SWB 2000

5 star review

I bought my Toyota van 4 years ago with 130,000 miles on the clock, it now has 202,000 and performs brilliantly. Always starts first time, no mechanical problems at all and a good handling vehicle. Can carry a good load and is quite nippy in traffic. Yes, they are pretty basic vans, but if you want reliability and a well engineered engine then look no further than Toyota.

Toyota Hiace Power Van 2.4 Diesel 2000

5 star review

Mine was 2 years old when I bought it, apart from a regular service and normal wear and tear, I only had the glow plugs change and 2 new batteries. The AA man said when the batteries went ’we don’t come out to many of these’!!! It was easy and comfortable to drive on long and short trips, plenty of room for all my junk!! and a couple of mates. It had done 121,000 miles but unfortuneately some idiot decided to do a u-turn in the road in front of me and the van was written off (I was very glad to be driving a tank cause although I was injured it could have been a lot worse in a less robust vehicle). Now trying to replace it and seems people never get rid of them!!!! Anyone selling in Bristol or surrounding area????
