1996 Daihatsu Hijet: the background

The EF-ES here belongs to a Daihatsu engine family that ran for well over a decade across the company's kei range. Daihatsu sold the Hijet in an unusually wide spread of factory body styles — flatbed, PTO dump, panel van, canvas top, the extended-cab Jumbo from 1983 and the four-seat Deck Van from 1988 — because Japanese buyers specified them for particular trades. Daihatsu is Toyota's small-vehicle specialist and the Hijet is the product it has spent longest refining — sixty-plus years of iteration on a single idea, and it shows in how resolved the details are.

Practicalities of this Hijet

A 660cc engine will not tow across a state, but it will do yard, field and site work all day on very little fuel. Japanese makers also held to a voluntary 64PS ceiling for the class. The chassis is recorded as S100P073289, and that is the number everything else on this listing is tied to. The asking price is $5,669.
