1999 Mitsubishi Minicab Special Edition 4WD: the background

Mitsubishi launched the Minicab in 1966 and kept it in the range for decades, making it one of the older continuously-built kei trucks. Mitsubishi ended in-house Minicab production in 2014; the truck that replaced it is a rebadged Suzuki, so every Mitsubishi-built Minicab is now a closed population. The engine is recorded as the 3G83, a Mitsubishi design from the company's own kei engine range.

The mechanical side of this Minicab Special Edition 4WD

Under it is the 3G83, a fuel-injected 660cc 3-cylinder engine. The 3G83 is a Mitsubishi design used right across the company's kei range, so it is a well-mapped and well-documented engine. The 3G83 drives through a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low.

What a Minicab Special Edition 4WD is good for

A Minicab Special Edition 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. Built in 1999, this Minicab Special Edition 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 $15,900.
