1995 Daihatsu Hijet Truck#BUC95070

A 1995 Daihatsu Hijet Truck in our current inventory, finished in White, brought in out of the Japanese domestic market. Its model code is recorded as V-S110P, which makes it a S110P chassis, and drive is four-wheel drive.

The 1995 Hijet in context

At 140cm wide it was designed to pass down Japanese farm tracks and between buildings, which is exactly the constraint that makes it useful here. 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.
