FactToyota didn't build this Dyna generation alone — it was co-developed with Hino, whose own Dutro truck is simply a rebadge of the same 1999 design wearing a different grille.
The seventh-generation Dyna (May 1999–2021) was jointly developed by Toyota and Hino, the Hino Dutro being a rebadged Dyna, with more aerodynamic, spacious, curved cabs, a redesigned dashboard, a modified front suspension and a liquid-sealed cab mount; its 4,200 mm wheelbase was the longest in its class, and the 4.1-litre diesel gained a turbocharger. The Standard Cab used the U300 platform and the Wide Cab the U400; the Route Van/Dutro Vans are HiAce (H100) van bodies on the Dyna chassis, all still named by payload (Dyna 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350). The Dyna 100 had a 2.5-litre (2,494 cc) D-4D common-rail turbodiesel of 88 PS and the twin-rear-wheel Dyna 150 an uprated 102 PS unit shared with the HiLux and HiAce; a 2.0-litre 110 PS gasoline was added in June 2000, a Hybrid model in September 2003 (revised for low emissions in October 2006), common-rail injection with EGR and DPR in May 2004 (when the 1.0-tonne engine became the 109 PS 2.5) and a 2.7-litre 151 PS diesel in May 2007, with a 6-speed manual from May 2010; Portuguese-made Dynas entered the wider European market from 2003.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The hybrid Dyna's electric motor pulls double duty — it also serves as the truck's starter motor, one less part under the cab.
Toyota didn't build this Dyna generation alone — it was co-developed with Hino, whose own Dutro truck is simply a rebadge of the same 1999 design wearing a different grille.
In 1997 Toyota pushed the Dyna's cab forward 690mm and dropped the floor 81mm for its Super Low Cab variant — squeezing more load space out of the same truck without lengthening it.
This generation of Dyna truck stayed in production in Indonesia all the way to 2002 — nearly two decades after it first went on sale.
This Dyna generation's heaviest-duty 300 model came with an exhaust brake standard — a feature more associated with much bigger commercial trucks of later decades.
This generation of Dyna led a triple life: badged as a Toyota, sold as a Daihatsu Delta, and — for the first time — as a Hino Ranger too.
This Dyna truck and the Toyota Coaster minibus aren't just cousins — they share the exact same U10-series chassis.
The redesigned K170 Dyna shared its chassis and 1.9-litre engine with the lighter-duty Toyota Stout pickup, and even lent its own underpinnings to Toyota's light bus.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
