What a Hi-Jet Deck Van 4WD is

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 1993 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.

Buying this 1993 Hi-Jet Deck Van 4WD

Four-wheel drive in a van body is an unusual combination outside Japan, and it is the reason these get used well past the end of the pavement. A 1993 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. Price on this one is $11,900.
