The two model lines existed separately until 1982 when TownAce trucks became rebadged LiteAce trucks-then in 1992 LiteAce vans became rebranded TownAce vans-thus unifying the once separate vehicle lines. Between 19, the series accommodated the MasterAce Surf-an upscale TownAce passenger wagon.
In 1976, Toyota released the larger TownAce van/wagon that derived from the LiteAce a TownAce truck arrived later in 1978. The LiteAce launched in 1970 as light-duty truck, with commercial and van/ wagon body variants added in 1971. These vehicles originally utilized the cab-over-engine configuration, although since 1996 a semi-cab-over arrangement has featured instead. The Toyota LiteAce and TownAce are a line of light commercial and derivative passenger vans produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota.
