Toyota Hiace Commuter/GL Grandia/Super Grandia Owners & Discussions Thread [Merged]

[OTEP]

Ok siya sa rekta. Malakas hatak niya kasi low rpm pa lang maganda na torque ng engine.

[Automahn]

Maglalabas pa kaya sila ng Super Grandia?

[OTEP]

No current plans. The GL is already comprehensively equipped (ABS/SRS, etc.) and is already being sold at premium prices. Anything more expensive might just bomb in the market place.

And if you have luggage space worries about the Starex, you'll be having a nightmare with the GL as its rear seats cannot be folded to increase luggage space. Only the poverty pack Commuter series has split folding rear seats.

Kung kung may Hi-Ace commuter siguro ako, cconvert ko nalang sa captains chair yung first row seat behind the driver, remove one row from behind then change the last row to folding seats which makes it 11 seater. Masyado nang malaki yung Grandia e.

Ganito magiging config:

nakasakay narin ako ng bagong hi ace kaya lng ung commuter type... tinanggal un isang bench para mgkaroon ng wider leg room.. dinistribute ang mga upuan evenly
( inabante ung dalawang natirang bench tapos same position ung folding na upuan sa end).. so from about 15 pass capacity naging 11 nalang.. surprisingly di matagtag at di nararamdaman ung vibration ng makina as compared sa old commuter.. malakas pa ang hatak pataas ng kennon road kahit puno.. bale byaheng baguio camiling ung nasakyan ko..

di lng maganda ung itsura parang carton talaga he he he..

Seatmate offers a conversion like that. Pati yung sidings pinapalitan para mas maganda (bye bye lawanit!). Optional folding table din.

bought my grandia last november 2005.
the van was great, engine wise, lakas humatak. sa nlex napapatakbo ko ng 150kmh and even wants more, my only problem is kapag may katabi na bus on overtakes, it shakes the whole van. my other comment, mejo panget yung mga seats, limited and paginclined. i am planning to change the 1st row to a captains chair one of these days.

[oliver1013]

La ba problem sa quality ng diesels natin engine neto? like sa trooper?

[joms23]

maglalabas na daw ng grandia 3.0 sabi nung ahente sa toyota marikina, any comments on this one? meron na bang 3.0 gl grandia or super grandia sa market ngayon?

[Automahn]

Uy, ok yan. May balita ba sa features?

[joms23]

d pa sure bro kung meron na, sa features baka daw naka captain seats, baka lang daw sabi ng ahente..

mga sir,
saan ho ba makakabili ng body sticker ng hiace? yung sa right side,yung sa may sliding door. may nasagi kasi ako,nagasgasan yung sticker at may dent ng kaunti. ano kaya pede nyo iadvice sa akin, bayaran ko na lang or ako pa magpaayos. salamat po.

[OTEP]

AFAIK, buong set siya. Php8k+. Nung nagkadent yung Land Cruiser pina-PDR na lang namin and yung ibang gasgas dun sa sticker, nagpahalo na lang kami ng matching paint and hinabol na lang by hand yung design (parang art!).

Kaso baka hindi pumayag sa ganun ka-jologs na repair yung nasagi mo. Try to contact the dealer. Minsan sale naman yung mga ganyang items.

[dfa172001]

yun nga ang nasa isip ko dok.Otep, yung dent pdr talaga, pero di kaya masira yung sticker kapag naPDR? maliit lang naman,di naman natuklap yung sticker,nagasgas lang, kaya kayang gawin yun sa mga gumagawa ng laser cut sticker? thanks

[OTEP]

Hindi iyan masisira sa PDR. Hindi naman nasira yung sa LC namin.

Yung gasgas kasi ibang incident. Free hand lang ginawa ng pintor using fine brush. Ok naman basta match yung paint na gamit.

[batang_raon14]

Hindi po madadali sa PDR yan dahil sa loob naman ang pagpukpok at hindi sa labas chief.

[dfa172001]

siguro ho mga sir, ipa pdr ko muna, baka siguro pag nakita ng me ari ng hiace na ok, e mapakiusapan sa hand painting. mga sir, me alam ka ba na gumagawa ng hand painting? salamat.

[OTEP]

Any professional painter can do that. Kahit free lance lang and yung paint, pahalo na lang sa paint center.

[C190]

What's the estimate or average fuel consumption in city/highway driving?
thanks
