Background: the Hi-Jet Low Dump 4WD

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. 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. The EFNS here belongs to a Daihatsu engine family that ran for well over a decade across the company's kei range.

Where a Hi-Jet Low Dump 4WD earns its keep

Landscapers, small builders and smallholders are the people who end up with a Hi-Jet Low Dump 4WD like this one. Built in 1997, this Hi-Jet Low Dump 4WD is 29 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity. It is listed at $14,900. 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.
