Spotted this just as I was leaving from getting some gas on my way home yesterday! Mid-90's JDM import Toyota HiAce double-cab truck! Very cool....also sounded hilariously diesel-y. :P

The noise was what made me look up to see it (was writing my mileage down as I keep track of it).

Pretty cool! :D

It still seems to be a weird HiAce. Euro spec HiAce was always a van but Dynas could be ordered as pickups.

What pip bip said. A regular rwd Japanese cabover does nothing to me but the 4x4 ones I see from time to time are cool.

I’ll correct myself. Up to 2nd gen they were also available as pickups here.

TIL - it was also known as a HiAce

These little COE pickups are the only JDM vehicles that I get excited for.

I’m not HUGE into JDM stuff, especially not the trucks and SUVs really (I am more into the cars, especially Kei cars, surprise surprise :P), but I always smile when I see something different and unique here...these trucks were never sold here, do it put a smile on my face! :)

Yeah, they were never sold here either. They’re a rare sight that also never fails to make me smile.
