Because, who doesn’t need an imported Japanese ambulance? An excellent mix of features and utility, these vans are great as promotional vehicles, people haulers, the ultimate camper conversions, and for dirt road or cross county excursions. This Hiace is a bit of a rarity for an ambulance, featuring the 3.0 liter 1KZ-TE turbo charged diesel engine rather than the smaller naturally aspirated variant – actually capable of keeping up with US highway traffic. It was imported in August 2025 and is offered for your consideration.
