The Ultimate V8 Powered 4x4 Toyota Van, Hiace Ambulance Himedic

[@Metallurge]

I know it would make an awesome overland build but I’d be interested in just keeping it like a time capsule. It’s so cool I’d hate to change it.

[@OttoEx]

It could definitely go either way - In a museum, or off the grid.

We use Toyota hiace in Africa commonly as matatus for many years. Toyota hiace is the best vehicle for public or cargo transportation business in Africa.

The toyota himedic now is here on gran turismo 7, but the model was hiace

Long thin object to be stored in the side are MaxTrax and other traction/levelling boards! Thanks for sharing the video of such a unique and a very special van!

[@kiskendapratama1540]

Right steering?

[@memecats5698]

It looks like my old Toyota van for 1984 when they first came out minus the ambulance stuff and hightop. Lol mine was white too.

[@dylan.adventures]

Is it gas or diesel?

[@OttoEx]

It's powered by a gas, V8. 1UZ-FE engine.

1993 Toyota HIACE HIMEDIC for Life saving

[@clmccomas]

$200,000+ when it was new! Damn, that is incredibly expensive compared to U.S. ambulance prices of the same period. Type III ambulances (high roof van) on a Ford E-350 chassis with a turbo diesel engine where around $80K to $100,000. Even the Type I, (modular box on a truck chassis), were well south of $200,000. 61,000 miles is very low milage too. You normally only see that on U.S. ambulances that were owned by a small rural volunteer fire department or rescue squad.

Toyota Hiace 4x2 HiMedic in the Philippines, converted to Left Hand Drive

[@studid55]

YOUR THUMBNAIL LIED !!!

[@f16-chamak]

Is it legal to use this as an ambulance in the US?

[@OttoEx]

You'd have to check with your local state ambulance certification requirements for an answer on this!

[@michaelearith781]

Typically Japanese in shape & design ,whereabouts in Japan was this ambulance used? Didn't it have a Red Cross in the middle of the tailgate window? I wonder what the siren sound is like.

[@roland9367]

These are super rare, and they are actually built wider than the original Hiace (because of ambulance rules). Also the longest wheel base. The chassis code is UZH138 but you can't find them in the parts system. How much did this sell for?

[@Neem670]

ты в маске.

[@r.c.l.o.l.z]

That's weird that u cannot buy a hiace private use, considering in other asian countries if u have the money, u can buy a Toyota hiace if u want to and use it as a private van or use it as transportation and it not been used as an ambulance.

[@tosgem]

He means the HiMedic version
