The Japanese company Toyota is known worldwide as a manufacturer of fast, high-quality and reliable cars. But not everyone knows that this company produces trucks. And in certain circles, their products in this direction are in demand. For several decades, Toyota Toyoace trucks have been entering the automotive market not only in Asia but also in Russia. True, this name the car is only in Japan. Other countries know him as Toyota Dyna.
The history of the development of the lineup
Toyota Dyna (Toyoace) was developed based on the Toyopet Route Truck, manufactured in 1956. A model called "Toyota-ToyoAce" appeared in 1959. Four years later, the model underwent restyling. As a result, the individual dimensions of the truck became smaller.
In 1968, the first samples of the third generation came off the assembly line. Variations of the body appeared: a van, a long or short truck base. The fourth generation was released in 1977, the fifth in 1984, and the sixth in 1995.
The seventh generation of Toyota Toyoace began to produce in 1999. There were two modifications. The first had a load capacity of up to one and a half tons, the second - up to three.
The eighth, and last to date, generation appeared on the market in 2011. The engine was already equipped with a Common Rail system. Transmission - six-speed manual or automatic (at the choice of a potential buyer).
Vehicle Features
A distinctive feature of Toyota Toyoace is that the cab is located above the hood. This provides better visibility for the driver, as he sits higher.
Toyota-Toyoce can be called a compact universal truck. Its small size allows him to feel confident in the city streets. In addition to vans, the manufacturer also produced pickups with a half-cab under the same name. In addition, the car is also available in other bodies: vans with a twin cab, dump trucks, refrigerated trucks, garbage trucks and others.
The classic type of fuel is diesel. Only in recent years, manufacturers have turned their attention to gasoline and gas engines.
Reliability and durability can also be attributed to the distinctive features of Toyota Toyoace. Truck repair, as a rule, consists only in replacing consumables (filters, timing belt, oil, and so on). This is evidenced by numerous user reviews of this car.
