I recently learned about the Toyota Hiace while on the road and felt it would be the ideal family vehicle for us to travel in. Naturally, after doing some investigation, I found that they are not and probably never will be sold in the United States.
What van, other than a Toyota, can I purchase in the US that is most similar to the Hiace and can be converted into a travel van that is not a Mercedes Sprinter?
Hey enthusisats,look at this If fuel economy is a priority for you, check the fuel consumption of different models. Also, consider features and amenities such as power windows, doors, and locks, along with safety features like airbags and stability control. Finally, think about both the initial purchase price and the ongoing costs for maintenance and operation.
Consider the Ford Transit or Ram ProMaster City as alternatives to the Toyota Hiace. Both offer spacious interiors and customization options for a travel van. They are readily available in the US and provide versatile configurations for family travel, making them good alternatives to the Mercedes Sprinter.
