Frontline pop top campervan

published

Converted to a campervan by Frontline Ballina in 2013 this is a very low cost for travelling at 10 litres per 100klm 2.7 litre petrol 5 forward gears.
The pop top being very convenient. A very sturdy vehicle as being a Toyota we have had no issues with the vehicle runs very quiet and the inside instruments are all up to date eith the modern car.
Very pleased.

Stupid thing always gets stuck (bogged) every time it rains

published

I'm so over it honestly every time it rains and you go on a tiny bit of grass you get bogged. Stupid thing should have a lsd and released with decent tyres. Other then that I guess it serves its purpose well except the radio buttons are stupidly big on the steering wheel.

new diesels are the go

published

had 2012 lwb hiace diesel turbo manual from the showroom floor. 4 years courier driving use in city traffic. never had a single problem. just servicing and new tyres was the only maintenance done during the 4 year's. traded it in with 120,000km for a new one. november 2016 build, lwb diesel manual. new ones have had traction control added, cruise control, steering wheel now has radio controls, no 3rd seat in front - more of a centre console with drink holders and slots for paperwork. disel engine is now fitted with a diesel particulate filter system also. much improved instrument cluster. love these vans.

Older models great - newer are JUNK !

published

Done over 1 million KMs in Hiaces, Older diesels are best, reliable tough.... Newer 2005 on are flimsy, bumpers are like glad wrap, constant issues with turbo stepper motor ( Common problem ) interior cabin space pathetic, 2 gearboxes destroyed and now the diff is seizing up without warning . Our other diesel Hiace has similar issues. Why is this model still going ? 2005 - 2017 is long enough to see mistakes and make a better commercial van. Next van will be European most likely ...

Reliable vans

published

We love these vans! Very reliable, cheap to run. 1998 model has 600k and has had one engine rebuild, 2003has been services once/year, 2013 vans are going like champions. They go all over towns as tradie vans and are great to drive. Wish they made a really big van like the Mercedes sprinters.

Toyota HiAce 2006 2.7L 4 cyl.

published

I've been wanting a van for a while. I wasn't going to settle for anything less than a HiAce since I see a whole lot of tradies drive them, it's obvious to me that they are reliable. So I bought a 2006 Toyota HiAce and I'm very glad I did.

It has plenty of grunt for a 4 cylinder engine. The one I bought runs on LPG and petrol. It's a factory installed LPG so it switches automatically to use LPG when it reaches operating temperature. It really suits me and save a lot on petrol.

From now on I will always buy a HiAce. They are worth the money you pay for if shop around.

Not bad but some issues

published

We have two 09 2.7l petrol/ LPG hiaces.Haven't been too bad,but at around 175000ks,one did a diff and the other a water pump. One had previously had a leaking radiator,which incidently was n't the one that had a water pump failure.
Also have continually replace broken or cracked windscreens,usually one on each van a year.
Both have been serviced every 10000ks at the dealer.

Not bad to drive,much better than the Mitsubishi vans we have had for the previous 20yrs,but no where near as reliable.
And the Mitsy vans went 15000km between services which is much better than toyota at 10000km.
The toyota factory LPG system is also very good.

370k and still goes.

published

Bought new 2007 SLWB D4D Auto. Great when new,but at 70000 the diff started to make noise. Has had 3 rebuilds since and now is noisy again. Design now dated and there are other vans to consider. No good if you are over 177cm tall. I wonder when a new one is due.

just the best.

brought second hand in 1998, 10000km on the clock. Still have it today, what a great vehicle, now done 635000km. no majors. flushed radiators out an had to get some cores changed. always done services. wont ever sell it, can die at my place. isnt fast but just keeps on going, like most 4wheel drive toyotas. still looks like new. polish it every month. it deserves it. its 3 liter diesel has never been striped down.

Toyota Hi Ace 2000 model SBV RCH22R Front line Pop Top Camper-van

published

Excellent camper-van Very reliable with the 2RZE engine, handles like a dream with the independent suspension.Walk through design from drivers seat to the back a great convenience. Good all round van go just about anywhere, more protection and quite with the motor in the front under the bonnet Just a little thirsty around town but excellent on a trip. Inexpensive to maintain and service. All round I believe the best Camper-van on the market for the money.

So other Toyota owner please beware, don't generalize, not all Toyota created equal!

It has a noise from T belt after 35,000kms.but that noise will'nt become after long journey.so be careful about it!!
