Toyota LiteAce

The Toyota LiteAce is a line of light commercial vehicles and derivative passenger vans built by Toyota and sold together with the related TownAce. The LiteAce launched in 1970 as a light-duty truck, with commercial and van or wagon body variants added in 1971, and the larger TownAce van followed in 1976. The early models used a cab-over-engine layout, and since 1996 a semi-cab-over arrangement has been used instead. The two model lines existed separately until 1982, when TownAce trucks became rebadged LiteAce trucks, and in 1992 LiteAce vans were rebranded as TownAce vans. The LiteAce sat between the smaller MiniAce and the larger HiAce in size and carrying capacity, and select versions were also badged as the Daihatsu Delta in Japan.
