1997 Daihatsu Hijet Mini Dump Truck - Boeki USA#BUC48148

What a Hijet Dump is

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. Every four-wheel-drive Minicab from 1984 onward got twelve-inch front disc brakes and automatic free-wheeling front hubs as standard. 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.

What is on file for this Hijet Dump

It shows 46948 on the clock, with a Japanese auction grade of 4/C on file. The source recorded no unit alongside that figure, so 46948 is reproduced exactly as stored rather than converted.

How this 1997 Hijet Dump is put together

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. Drive reaches the road through a 5-speed gearbox, four-wheel drive.

Living with a Hijet Dump

Landscapers, small builders and smallholders are the people who end up with a Hijet Dump like this one. What you see is what we have: a White Hijet Dump on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall. 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.
