Powertrain on this Hi-Jet Super Jumbo 4WD

This Hi-Jet Super Jumbo 4WD carries the EF-NS: 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. This Hi-Jet Super Jumbo 4WD is fitted with a manual gearbox. Listed drivetrain equipment includes selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low.

1997 Daihatsu Hi-Jet Super Jumbo 4WD: the background

The Hijet has been in continuous production since November 1960, which makes it the oldest surviving kei nameplate — and in 2021 it took a Good Design Long Life Design Award, a first for Daihatsu. The S110P code puts this 1997 Hi-Jet Super Jumbo 4WD in the eighth-generation Hijet, produced between 1994 and 1999. 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.
