Background: the Hijet

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. Daihatsu supplies the Hijet to other makers for rebadging — Toyota since 2011, Subaru since 2012 — and it was licence-built abroad as the Piaggio Porter in Italy and the Asia Towner in Korea. A 1999 Hijet sits in the middle of a production run that has outlasted most of the companies that started building trucks alongside it. 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.

Powertrain on this Hijet

It runs a 660cc engine. The 660cc engine drives through a manual gearbox.

Import and ownership — 1999 Daihatsu Hijet

Plenty of buyers keep a Hijet looking exactly as it arrived; this one is Red and presented as we received it. Bucks Mini Trucks buys and delivers Hijets like this one; we are the seller, not a broker for someone else's stock. The asking price is $8,127. Daihatsu had the same 660cc ceiling to work with as every other maker, so the differences between kei trucks come from packaging and engineering rather than from displacement.
