Toyota Dyna – Japanese light and medium truck of the BU range, four-cylinder diesel engines from 3.0 to 4.0 litres, 59 to 110 kW, gross vehicle weight up to 7.5 tonnes
The Toyota Dyna has been built since 1956 and is Toyota's light and medium truck for distribution work; the versions gathered on this page mostly carry the BU type designation and suffixes such as MDDHTW or QRDHTW, referring to wheelbase, cab version and drive variant. Mechanically identical vehicles have been and still are sold under sister brands such as Hino Dutro and Daihatsu Delta, showing the close technical kinship within the Toyota group.

The register lists 20 versions with four-cylinder diesel engines from 2,970 to 4,009 cm³ and 59 to 110 kW, kerb weights from 2,280 to 3,945 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,700 to 7,500 kg, lengths from 5,200 to 7,700 mm and widths from 2,000 to 2,320 mm.
The Dyna is among the most widespread small trucks of its class worldwide and is used in Asia, Europe and other markets for urban distribution work as well as a base for tipper, refrigerated and flatbed bodies. In Europe it competes with, among others, the Mitsubishi Canter and Iveco Daily.
Buying one of these trucks used, what matters is corrosion of the chassis frame and tail lift, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, and the function of the diesel engine's injection pump. Brakes, the condition of the load bed and any body fitted, and mileage are decisive for resale value; spare parts are well supplied through Toyota's dense commercial-vehicle network.
