On the U42T Minicab

U42T is the four-wheel-drive Minicab truck Mitsubishi built from 1991 to 1998, with the 657cc 3G83 three-cylinder beneath the cab. Work specifications of this chassis were offered with a two-speed transfer case and a crawler gear, and the Minicab was one of the few kei trucks sold with a factory power-take-off for driving a tipper or a pump. Mitsubishi also supplied this generation to Nissan as the Clipper.

Odometer: 85,743 miles, near 138,000 km. The 3G83 was Mitsubishi's standard kei commercial engine for two decades, which tells you what duty cycle it was engineered around.

Putting it to work

A tipper with low range is a deliberate working combination. The hydraulic bed does the unloading; the second reduction in the transfer case does the climbing, so the truck can carry a full load up a slope at the pace the terrain allows. One without the other leaves half the job to the driver.

A hydraulic tipper under $5,000 is the cheap end of a body style that normally commands a premium. The dump gear is the expensive part of these trucks, so at this level the price is being set by the age and the reading rather than by the bed.

The buying process

With a 1995 build year it clears the 25-year rule that applies to importing vehicles never sold new in the US. Customs entry, import documentation and title work are all done here, and we arrange transport to any state. The figure is $4,995, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
