ALL NEW TOYOTA COMMERCIAL VEHICLE RANGE

November 2001 brings the launch of an all-new Toyota commercial vehicle range with the introduction of a light truck known as Dyna 300/350. In addition, the Hilux Pick-up and Hiace van get a fresh new look and improved specification. All Toyota commercial vehicles are now fitted with 2.5-litre D-4D direct injection common rail turbo diesel engines for more power and better fuel consumption.

The new Dyna truck takes Toyota into the 3,000-3,500kg Gross Vehicle Weight market for the first time and is available in well proven Dropside and Chassis Cab and spacious cab design. Over the next year a dedicated Commercial Vehicle Dealer Network of 80 dealerships will be rolled out across the UK to offer specialist support for the expanding range to Toyota’s commercial vehicle customers.

ADVANCED D-4D DIESEL ENGINES FOR NEW TOYOTA COMMERCIAL RANGE

The new commercial vehicle range is offered with new advanced Toyota D-4D direct injection, turbocharged, common rail diesel engines with a choice of power outputs, either 88bhp or 102bhp. The new engines will provide users with more power, more performance and reduced fuel consumption.

Both these engines offer outstanding economy and reliability in typical, tough working environments. At the same time they offer the other benefits of Toyota’s advanced, common rail technology – low noise, instant starting and low emissions levels. Both engines comply with European Step III emissions legislation.

REDUCED COST OF OWNERSHIP

The adoption of common rail diesel engines, with an advanced engine oil maintenance management system, allows the introduction of extended oil maintenance/health check intervals of 10,000 miles with major service intervals at 20,000 miles in line with Toyota VVT-i passenger cars. The combination of reduced fuel consumption and extended service intervals will result in significantly reduced cost of ownership.

NEW DYNA

The Dyna truck is a chassis cab design that has been on sale in Japan, Europe and overseas since the 1970s. The new vehicle, on sale in the UK for the first time, retains the practical and versatile cab-forward design of the existing model but is easier to use, more pleasurable to drive, quieter, more fuel efficient and more comfortable. The latest offering provides the benefit of a new cab and all new D-4D direct injection 16v common rail diesel engine.

The model line up is named to reflect the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of the Dyna models 300 and 350 (the GVW is 3,000kg and 3,500kg respectively). The range starts with the Dyna 300 dropside equipped with 2.5-litre D-4D diesel engine with 88bhp in five-speed manual. The Dyna 350, on sale from January 2002, is available with 2.5-litre D-4D diesel engine with 102bhp also in five-speed manual in either medium or long wheelbase. The 350 model will be available with approved Toyota body builders in either dropside, box van or tipper body style with three-year warranty.

Full Safety Features

The new Dyna truck cabin structure was designed to help protect the occupants from impact while the front doors have side impact beams to absorb impact energy.

In addition, the new Dyna truck has an impressive range of safety equipment as standard including a driver’s SRS airbag and seatbelts with pretensioners, to help reduce the risk of chest and upper body injury, full three-point ELR seatbelts for driver and nearside passenger with two-point belts for centre passenger.

Modern, Spacious Cab

The distinctive cab-forward design offers a number of practical and operational advantages ranging from increased load carrying length to easier access to the engine. Cab forward light trucks offer a longer load length for the same overall length than their ‘semi-bonnet’ design rivals.

The high forward position of the cab ensures better driver visibility and improves passive safety, especially in city traffic or limited space operating conditions. At the same time, the forward placement of the cab means better weight distribution over the axles when the vehicle is fully laden.

Driver and Passenger Comfort

Inside the cab, the new Dyna truck has placed great emphasis on features, comfort, convenience and ease of operation. A range of features were designed to minimise fatigue on long trips and during the working day including:

• Spacious cab allowing three adults to sit with ample room
• Driver’s seat slides and reclines for a comfortable driving position
• Fully adjustable steering column tilts for most comfortable setting
• Speed sensitive power steering
• Main instrumentation has been designed for maximum clarit

HILUX PICK-UP

Building on this strong image, the popular Toyota Hilux pick-up range is now available with a host of new features such as a fresh, sporty face, improved interior comfort and convenience; and a choice of advanced technology, common rail diesel engines.

This is followed by the all-new 2WD 240 Extra Cab Pick-up FX, also with 88bhp, but with high level of equipment and specification such as air conditioning.

For the first time, all other models now feature automatic selectable two or four-wheel drive with high and low ratio transfer boxes. This new feature will prove useful, especially in harsh weather conditions, as it replaces the need to manually adjust the 4WD settings.

The entry-level four-wheel drive model is the 4WD 250 Single Cab Pick-up EX with 102bhp. This is followed by the 4WD 270 Double Cab Pick-up EX with 102bhp.
