Overview

The Toyota Model F was produced from 1982 to 1988. This is the first model Toyota specifically designed as a standalone minivan. CF50/CF20 series existed. The 1.8L 1Y (80 hp) and 2.0L 2Y-U (90 hp) engines are standard choices. The model was sometimes also known as the "Toyota Van" in some markets including the US/Australia.

The Model F is based on the Toyota HiAce Van platform but puts the minivan concept at the forefront. Spacious rear cabin, sliding side door, flexible seating — these features were innovative for 1982. Bus-level cabin quality earned this model popularity in Japan.

The Toyota Model F is virtually impossible to find in Azerbaijan. Parts availability for this 40+ year old model is extremely limited. The 1Y/2Y-U engine family must be sought through old HiAce networks. This model is a valuable reference for those researching the history of Toyota minivans.
