About the 1998 Daihatsu Hijet

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. In Mitsubishi's scheme the S110P letter gives the body and the number gives the drive, and the pairing repeats generation by generation. The S110P code puts this 1998 Hi-Jet Dump 4WD in the eighth-generation Hijet, produced between 1994 and 1999.

Hi-Jet Dump 4WD: engine and drivetrain

This Hi-Jet Dump 4WD carries the EFNS: a 660cc 3-cylinder engine. The EF family powered Daihatsu's kei vehicles for well over a decade, and its longevity is a reasonable proxy for how sound the basic design was. The 1998 Hi-Jet Dump 4WD came with a manual gearbox, and that is what this one has. Listed drivetrain equipment includes selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low and a locking differential.

Ownership and import of this Hi-Jet Dump 4WD

Four-wheel drive on a dump body matters most when the bed is full and the ground is soft — which is usually the same moment. A 1998 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. It is listed at $16,900.
