The 1999 Hijet in context

Daihatsu is Toyota's small-vehicle specialist and the Hijet is the product it has spent longest refining — sixty-plus years of iteration on a single idea, and it shows in how resolved the details are. The EF-SE here belongs to a Daihatsu engine family that ran for well over a decade across the company's kei range. 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.

How this 1999 Hi-Jet Climber EFI 4WD is put together

Power comes from the EF-SE, a fuel-injected 660cc 3-cylinder unit. The EF-SE drives through a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries a locking differential and selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low.

Built in 1999, this Hi-Jet Climber EFI 4WD is 27 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity. The asking price is $11,900.
