1994 Daihatsu Hijet Truck: the background

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. 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. 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.

The mechanical side of this Hijet Truck

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.
