The 1999 Hijet in context

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. A 1999 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. 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.

Practicalities of this HiJet 4WD

A 660cc engine will not tow across a state, but it will do yard, field and site work all day on very little fuel. Japanese makers also held to a voluntary 64PS ceiling for the class. Built in 1999, this HiJet 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. Price on this one is $8,900.
