About the 1995 Daihatsu Hijet

Every four-wheel-drive Minicab from 1984 onward got twelve-inch front disc brakes and automatic free-wheeling front hubs as standard. The EF here belongs to a Daihatsu engine family that ran for well over a decade across the company's kei range. 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. 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.

Buying this 1995 Hijet Truck

Four-wheel drive on a Hijet Truck was specified in Japan for field and forestry work, not for road holding. A 1995 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. The asking price is $5,700. Japan's kei category exists because small vehicles are taxed and registered differently there, and the Hijet Truck was built specifically to qualify.
