1995 Daihatsu Hijet: the background

A 1995 Hijet sits in the middle of a production run that has outlasted most of the companies that started building trucks alongside it. Every four-wheel-drive Minicab from 1984 onward got twelve-inch front disc brakes and automatic free-wheeling front hubs as standard. Four-wheel-drive Hijets were aimed at farm and forestry work, which is where the sub-transmission low range and the differential locks in this family come from. The Hijet Climber was the first kei vehicle offered with a limited-slip differential, and low-range sub-transmissions were a factory option across several generations.

Where a Hijet earns its keep

Four-wheel drive on a Hijet was specified in Japan for field and forestry work, not for road holding. A 1995 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. It is listed at $10,017. Everything about a kei vehicle follows from the class rules — width, height, displacement and the shape of the cab are all downstream of the same regulation.
