Depends on how heavy the load is that you are carrying. over 3.5 ton it's H.T.

a hi ace truck would definitely be ok on a class 1 license. The weight that requires class 2 is 4.5 tonne, total weight, and if a HiAce gets to 4.5 ton it is overloaded for sure.

What is the GVW for your particular truck - should be on the vehicle information label somewhere.

4.5 ton all up - vehicle, any trailer etc. Then need Class -II (HGV)

Over 4.5 tons you will need an HT or if the vehicle has aGVW sticker of 5tons or higher{empty or not}you will need an HT licence.
