The 1997 Hijet in context

The Hijet Climber was the first kei vehicle offered with a limited-slip differential, and low-range sub-transmissions were a factory option across several generations. Every four-wheel-drive Minicab from 1984 onward got twelve-inch front disc brakes and automatic free-wheeling front hubs as standard. 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 paperwork on this 1997 Hi-Jet 4WD

It shows 22,437 on the clock. The source recorded no unit alongside that figure, so 22,437 is reproduced exactly as stored rather than converted.

Mechanical specification of this Hi-Jet 4WD

Power comes from the EFNS, a 660cc 3-cylinder unit. A 1997 Daihatsu on the EF is running the engine family the company built its kei reputation on. The EFNS drives through a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries selectable 2WD / 4WD high.

Owning a Hi-Jet 4WD

Farms, vineyards, ranches, grounds crews and building sites are where Hi-Jet 4WDs end up in the US, for the same reasons they ended up there in Japan — Japanese sources describe the kei truck as a necessity for moving tools, crops and catch. What you see is what we have: a White Hi-Jet 4WD on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall. The asking price is $11,900.
