All i can say is
BUY A HIACE!! So reliable its not funny.
Heres the toss-ups tho,
Aussie delivered ones - made for commercial applications, so not very comfy not very quiet and pretty ugly.
Jap import ones ( Super Custom and SuperGL ( I have a SuperGL)) - very nice and comfy to drive, look allot better, lots of nice " things " inside like electric everything 4x4 factory tint ( which is 20% - illegal here) climate control etc
But theres just one small problem, And its a big one!
PARTS!! Damn those parts to hell!
Busted my diffmount being stupid on the beach ( its 4x4 with a 3.0LT diesel.)
cant get one in aus. had to make a new one myself ( im a mechanic) cost - $200
Still a problem.
I had a bingle in the carpark the other day and broke my indicator lens and my parklight lens - none in australia gotta come from japan takes 3 weeks and will cost around $400.
other then that i love it to bits ( not the individual bits tho!
)
Go the Hiace!
oh , the difference between a SuperCustom and a SuperGL is
SuperCustom - hiace chassis with tarago like interior but they are very very plush top of the wazza in luxury toyota vans usually auto with turbo diesels etc very nice , kinda ugly.
SuperGL - Hiace chassis and body, different fittings like lights and everything basicly its a regular hiace but its the top of the line one. Sometimes called a 200series hiace.
not so plush inside but still very nice
