Thread: Hiace advice

I've been driving them since I got my licence 35 years ago and have owned at least one for the last 26 years. Love the feel of the gearboxes and the ratios. Last two have been 4x4 and they are nice to drive but are hard on tyres, typically chewing them out within 30,000km. Found the current one (3.0l diesel, swb) great for towing and really comfortable and quite good off road. Can unclip the rear seats in a couple of minutes and they fold down for a bed of wanted. Fuel economy is not great at around 13l/100km. The 2x4 van I had was really good on tyres, getting 120,000km before the side walls perished.
