Background: the Hijet

The Hijet was built to be maintained by its owner rather than by a dealer: the seats tip forward, the engine is right there, and the service points are deliberately obvious. A 2019 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. Every four-wheel-drive Minicab from 1984 onward got twelve-inch front disc brakes and automatic free-wheeling front hubs as standard.

2019 Daihatsu Hijet: engine, gearbox and running gear

Gearbox on this Hijet is a manual gearbox, driving four-wheel drive. The point of four-wheel drive here is being able to finish the job in conditions that would strand a two-wheel-drive truck of the same weight.

Where a Hijet earns its keep

Plenty of buyers keep a Hijet looking exactly as it arrived; this one is White and presented as we received it. It is on our books as 65240, and what this listing records is what we hold on file for it. The asking price is $13,200. Everything about a kei vehicle follows from the class rules — width, height, displacement and the shape of the cab are all downstream of the same regulation.
