The 1996 Hijet in context

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 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. The Hijet was built to be maintained by its owner rather than by a dealer: the seats tip forward, the engine is right there, and the service points are deliberately obvious.

1996 Daihatsu Hijet Dump: engine, gearbox and running gear

The engine is recorded as the EF. Daihatsu's EF series is a 659cc three built in a great many variants, from plain carburetted versions to twin-cam and turbocharged ones. Behind the White bodywork sits a 5-speed gearbox.

Recorded condition of this 1996 Hijet Dump

A 1996 vehicle showing 20115, recorded with a Japanese auction grade of 4/B. The source recorded no unit alongside that figure, so 20115 is reproduced exactly as stored rather than converted.

Where a Hijet Dump earns its keep

Tipping beds like this are what turn a two-person unloading job into a one-person one. This 1996 Hijet Dump spent its working life on Japanese registration, where a light goods vehicle faces its first statutory shaken inspection at two years and another every two years after that. Price on this one is $7,700.
