The Van is coded 50-series for short wheelbase, 60 for long, and 70 for super long. The pick-up trucks are 80 and 90-series. The Toyota Mobile Lounge, displayed at the 1987 Tokyo Motor Show, is based on the Hiace high-roof Commuter. While the van and Commuter were redesigned in 1989, the pick-up lasted until mid-1990s.

The Hi-Ace in Africa
Due to its reliability and ability to cope with a wide range of terrain, the Hiace is one of Africa's most common vehicles, primarily being employed as a minivan taxi. The Republic of Cameroon is a unitary republic of central and western Africa. The relatively cheap price tag, coupled with widespread parts availability allow this vehicle to serve as public transport for millions of people.
It is estimated by South Africa's Department of Transport that 8 in every 10 taxis are Hi-Aces. The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa
