Toyota Coasters are very popular for Motorhome Conversions.
We can source Toyota Coasters locally, or from Japan. If you are after a Automatic, we will need to source that in Japan as Toyota never brought automatics into Australia. We can however easily get them from Japan.
The models we can currently import are:
* Anything manufactured before 01-01-1989.
* HDB51 (manual or automatic, 4.2 Turbo diesel). In the year ranges of 1993 to 2003.
* HDB50 (manual or automatic, 4.2 Diesel). In the year ranges of 1993 to 2003.
* HDB31 (manual or automatic, 4.2 Turbo diesel). In the year ranges of 1989 to 1993.
* BB58 (factory all-wheel-drive model, automatic only, 1993/1999 has the 4 ltr. diesel engine, 1999-2003 has the 4 ltr. Turbo Intercooled diesel engine).
Locally sourced Toyota Coasters will come in a few different models, to start the 1983 to 1993 models:
* HB30 (LWB upto 1990, 4ltr. diesel, manual)
* HZB30 (LWB 1990-1993, 4.2ltr. diesel, manual)
* RB20 (SWB 2.2 ltr. petrol, manual)
* BB20 (SWB 3.4 ltr. diesel, manual)
Locally sourced Toyota Coasters made from 1993 untill 2003 include:
* HZB50 (LWB 4.2 ltr. diesel, manual)
* BB40 (SWB 3.4 ltr. diesel, manual)
All of the Coasters can be driven on Car Licence providing they are suitably modified and engineer approved. (we can do this here).

And this locally sourced Coaster, a 1991 HZB30 Long Wheelbase model,
A factory build 4x4 Coaster??
Is there such a thing??
Yes there is. We can get them for you!!
How much for a good one??
Anywhere between $45.000 and $55.000!!
Meet the BB58,
Toyota's best.
It's a Toyota build, factory fitted 4x4
Coaster. Only available in Automatic. And if
you buy the 07/1999 onwards model,fitted with a
4 ltr. Turbo Intercooled diesel engine,
that has lots of power.
These are ideal for a on road/off road motorhome. They have the space for all the comforts of home, ride like only a Coaster rides like, and still has the ability to take you off the beaten track. I'm thinking Gibb River Road WA, Cape York QLD, Gunbarrel HWY WA, Strezlecki Track SA, even Fraser Island shouldn't be too much of an issue for these. Just let a bit of air out of the tyres though, on the soft sand...
Now, we can get you hooked up with one of these little beauties. We can source a good one in Japan with the Turbo Intercooled motor and Automatic box. The trick is to find one with no rust, as most of these are used up in the North of Japan, where the snowfields are. There is some good ones there though, so together with our Japanese contacts, we can find you one that is rust free, and low mileage...
Below some pics, to get you used to looking at them. In a few years, there will be quite a few of these in Australia!! No doubt.
If you are interested in getting a Coaster fitted out, contact us!!
