1995 Mitsubishi Minicab Dump#BUC34567

1995 Mitsubishi Minicab Dump, finished in White, came to us straight out of the Japanese domestic market. Drive on this Minicab Dump is four-wheel drive. 10 photographs of this specific vehicle are on this listing.

Engine and transmission — Minicab Dump

The engine is recorded as the 3G83. Mitsubishi's 3G83 is the workhorse three that powered the Minicab through most of its life, and it was tuned for pulling rather than for peak output. The 1995 Minicab Dump came with a 5-speed gearbox, and that is what this one has. The 3G83 carries a balancer shaft, which is unusual for a kei three-cylinder and is why it is smoother than its cylinder count suggests.

Condition and equipment — Minicab Dump

Recorded against this 1995 Minicab Dump: 43173 on the odometer and a Japanese auction grade of 4/B. That reading of 43173 came to us without a unit attached, and we have left it exactly as found.

Background: the Minicab Dump

Mitsubishi launched the Minicab in 1966 and kept it in the range for decades, making it one of the older continuously-built kei trucks. Mitsubishi ended in-house Minicab production in 2014; the truck that replaced it is a rebadged Suzuki, so every Mitsubishi-built Minicab is now a closed population. This one is recorded in White, though the Minicab's natural habitat is a Japanese trade fleet in plain white.

Buying this 1995 Minicab Dump

Four-wheel drive on a dump body matters most when the bed is full and the ground is soft — which is usually the same moment. A 1995 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. The asking price is $6,900.
