Background: the Hijet Dump

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. The Hijet has been in continuous production since November 1960, which makes it the oldest surviving kei nameplate — and in 2021 it took a Good Design Long Life Design Award, a first for Daihatsu. 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. Trade-spec Hijets were overwhelmingly white; this one is recorded as White.

Recorded against this 1996 Hijet Dump: 32431 on the odometer and a Japanese auction grade of 4/B. The source recorded no unit alongside that figure, so 32431 is reproduced exactly as stored rather than converted.

Import and ownership — 1996 Daihatsu Hijet Dump

Landscapers, small builders and smallholders are the people who end up with a Hijet Dump like this one. We describe what is recorded and nothing more. If a figure is not on this page, it is because we do not have it on file. Price on this one is $7,700. Japan's kei category exists because small vehicles are taxed and registered differently there, and the Hijet Dump was built specifically to qualify.
