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. The 660cc engine drives through a manual gearbox. Listed drivetrain equipment includes selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low.

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

In Mitsubishi's scheme the S110P letter gives the body and the number gives the drive, and the pairing repeats generation by generation. A 1997 Hijet sits in the middle of a production run that has outlasted most of the companies that started building trucks alongside it. 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.
