The mechanical side of this Hi-Jet EFI DLI 4WD

The engine is recorded as the EFSE. Daihatsu's EF series is a 659cc three built in a great many variants, from plain carburetted versions to twin-cam and turbocharged ones. Behind the Tan bodywork sits a manual gearbox. The trim designation records selectable 2WD / 4WD high.

1999 Daihatsu Hi-Jet EFI DLI 4WD: the background

Trade-spec Hijets were overwhelmingly white; this one is recorded as Tan. The EFSE here belongs to a Daihatsu engine family that ran for well over a decade across the company's kei range. 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. Four-wheel-drive Hijets were aimed at farm and forestry work, which is where the sub-transmission low range and the differential locks in this family come from.

What a Hi-Jet EFI DLI 4WD is good for

A Hi-Jet EFI DLI 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. What you see is what we have: a Tan Hi-Jet EFI DLI 4WD on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall. It is listed at $11,900.
