Where the S83V Hijet Van fits

The S83V is the four-wheel-drive Hijet van of the early 1990s, mechanically an S83P truck under a van body. Daihatsu kept the EF three-cylinder under the cab floor and the selectable front axle from the truck range. Vans of this generation are less common than the trucks because far more trucks were exported.

The reading is 40,296 miles, which converts to roughly 64,800 km. Daihatsu's EF three-cylinder was fitted to the Hijet across two decades and several body styles, so the engine family has a very long track record behind it.

Putting it to work

The kei van format is a statutory 3.4-metre footprint with almost all of it turned into enclosed, flat-floored load space. The engine lives under the cab, the floor is flat from the bulkhead back, and the result holds more than its exterior dimensions suggest is possible.

Five to eight thousand dollars is the mainstream band for a kei van. It is where the ordinary two-seat commercial specifications sit, and where the choice of chassis and drivetrain is widest.
