Background: the Minicab Truck

Minicabs sold into Japanese agriculture and light construction, and the factory list reflects it: a dedicated "Minori" farm specification, low-range transfer options and heavy-duty dump beds. A 350kg rating on this chassis is Mitsubishi solving the same problem as everyone else, with heavier sections and fewer clever tricks. The U42T code marks this 1995 Minicab Truck as a fifth-generation Minicab, built from 1991 to 1999.
