KS4 Sambar: the short version

The KS4 is the four-wheel-drive Sambar truck built through the 1990s, and it inherits the layout Subaru stuck with long after everyone else abandoned it: the 658cc EN07 four-cylinder mounted at the very back, behind the rear axle line. Drive runs forward to the front wheels when selected. Four cylinders in a kei engine is the Sambar's signature, and the rear weight bias is why it is the one people pick for traction with an empty bed.

Odometer: 28,000 miles, approximately 45,100 km. Subaru's EN07 is a 658cc inline-four rather than a triple, so it turns over with four smaller reciprocating masses than anything else in the class, and the model's surviving population covers a wide span of readings.

The configuration

Rear-wheel drive on a kei truck puts the drive where the load is. With the engine under or behind the cab and the bed directly over the driven axle, adding weight to the deck improves traction rather than hurting it — the opposite of what happens on a front-driven vehicle.

This is the middle of the kei truck market. A 1991 Subaru Sambar at this money is the ordinary working configuration rather than a specialist one: a straight bed, a common chassis, and the parts supply that comes with a model sold in volume.
