Engine and transmission — Sambar Special 4WD

The engine is recorded as the EN07 — 660cc 4-cylinder. Subaru was the last maker to keep a four-cylinder in the kei class, and the EN07 is that engine — four small cylinders instead of three larger ones, which is why a Sambar is so much less busy than a three-cylinder rival. The 660cc engine drives through a manual gearbox. Listed drivetrain equipment includes selectable 2WD / 4WD high and an extra-low crawler gear.

Background: the Sambar Special 4WD

Subaru's Sambar was the first ordinary kei truck and cab-van offered with four-wheel drive, from 1980. The KS4 designation follows Subaru's own convention: the letters give the body and the number gives the drive. Subaru's rocker covers carry a cast "CLOVER4" badge with a four-leaf clover — a nod to the four-cylinder layout the company built its kei reputation on.

Buying this 1995 Sambar Special 4WD

A Sambar Special 4WD is not a substitute for a full-size pickup so much as a replacement for the trips where a full-size pickup was always overkill. The chassis is recorded as KS4-227689, and that is the number everything else on this listing is tied to. Price on this one is $11,900.
