1997 Mitsubishi Minicab Dump: the background

The engine is recorded as the 3G83, a Mitsubishi design from the company's own kei engine range. Mitsubishi supplied the Minicab to Nissan to sell as the Clipper from 2003, so the same truck ran in Japan under two badges. This one is recorded in White, though the Minicab's natural habitat is a Japanese trade fleet in plain white. The later Minicab looks semi-cab-over because Mitsubishi pushed the front axle forward for a crush zone, but the engine still sits under the driver's seat, so structurally it remained a cab-over.

The mechanical side of this Minicab Dump

The engine is recorded as the 3G83. The 3G83 is a Mitsubishi design used right across the company's kei range, so it is a well-mapped and well-documented engine. Drive reaches the road through a 5-speed gearbox, four-wheel drive.

What a Minicab Dump is good for

Tipping beds like this are what turn a two-person unloading job into a one-person one. Built in 1997, this Minicab Dump 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 $6,900. 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.
