The 2016 Hijet in context

A 2016 Hijet sits in the middle of a production run that has outlasted most of the companies that started building trucks alongside it. Daihatsu supplies the Hijet to other makers for rebadging — Toyota since 2011, Subaru since 2012 — and it was licence-built abroad as the Piaggio Porter in Italy and the Asia Towner in Korea. 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. 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.

Practicalities of this Hijet

Farms, vineyards, ranches, grounds crews and building sites are where Hijets end up in the US, for the same reasons they ended up there in Japan — Japanese sources describe the kei truck as a necessity for moving tools, crops and catch. As a 2016 vehicle this sits inside the 25-year window rather than outside it, so talk to us about how that applies where you are before committing. It is listed at $13,000.
