The mechanical side of this Hijet Dump

1996 Daihatsu Hijet Dump: the background

Trade-spec Hijets were overwhelmingly white; this one is recorded as White. 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 Climber was the first kei vehicle offered with a limited-slip differential, and low-range sub-transmissions were a factory option across several generations.

What a Hijet Dump is good for

Tipping beds like this are what turn a two-person unloading job into a one-person one. Built in 1996, this Hijet Dump is 30 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity. Price on this one is $7,700. 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.
