Background on the Minicab Dump

Mitsubishi's Minicab of the 1990s is a conventional cab-over kei truck and van with the 657cc 3G83 three-cylinder under the cab floor. Mitsubishi was unusual in offering a factory power-take-off on the work specifications, which is what drives a tipper ram or a pump directly from the gearbox, and it supplied the same vehicle to Nissan to sell as the Clipper.

The odometer sits at 12,989 miles, in the order of 20,900 km in the original units — a modest figure for a Mitsubishi kei vehicle returning from Japanese service.

Why this configuration

The combination of a tipping bed and four-wheel drive is the one that actually earns its keep: the drive gets a loaded truck onto soft ground and the hydraulics empty it without anyone lifting a shovel. On a kei-class chassis the whole thing still parks in a single-car space, which is the reason these sell to landscapers and smallholders rather than to fleets.

Between $5,000 and $8,000 a factory dump-bodied kei truck is sensibly priced — the hydraulics are the part you are paying for, and a converter would charge most of this band to fit them to a flat-bed afterwards.

Making it yours

Because it was built in 1994, the federal 25-year exemption applies and the usual FMVSS and EPA conformity requirements fall away. Import documentation and titling are handled at our end, and we ship nationwide. Priced at $6,900; message us and we will hold it for you.
