Toyota LiteAce (commercial vehicle)

Looks like Toyota PH is launching the (Daihatsu) Granmax

Although I personally still prefer the "Avanza Cargo"

Damn Toyota is eyeing all segments. This is the Suzuki Carry market.

Here's the interesting bit: based on what we've read and seen, Toyota hasn't mentioned the name LiteAce yet.

Possible names of this LCV:

Avanza Dropside Truck
Avanza Truck
Avanza Ace

Since it shares it's mechanicals with the older Avanzas like the engine 1.5L (2SZ-VE)

they can call it a Tamaraw to save on marketing/advertising costs.

They could if they wanted to. It will probably be based on the old (no nose) Hiace Commuter. That would slot right in between this Liteace and their other subsidiary Hino's 300 series. Ano na kaya market share nila then hehe.

Confirmed: Toyota Lite Ace will return to PH as LCV - AUTOINDUSTRIYA

They should bring in the van body too and call it Lite Ace GXL!

Also bring back the Tamaraw nameplate. This is perfect be on a very base model Innova for fleet buyers missed the old RWD Avanza.
