The standard version consisted of a 2-door driver's cab with 3 seats and a separate box with a tailgate. Other body styles from Toyota's range included a panel van, an ambulance, a double-cab panel van (2 doors, 6 seats), three different pickup trucks, a minibus (predecessor of the Coaster ) and an ice cream van .
All models had the usual technical details at the time, such as ladder frames, leaf springs, rigid axles and drum brakes on all wheels. The car was powered by a Toyota R engine with 48 bhp (35 kW) connected to a manual transmission. The car was equipped with two windshield wipers, two exterior mirrors (from 1955), axle caps, chrome trim and double headlights.
