Background on the S110-series Hijet

S110 is the four-wheel-drive version of the Hijet Daihatsu built from 1994 to 1999, using the 659cc EF three-cylinder. Work-specification trucks on this chassis — the Climber and the various dump bodies — were offered with a two-speed transfer case giving a genuine low range, and with a locking rear differential. That combination in a vehicle this small is the reason S110s ended up on Japanese hillside farms.

The reading is 42,486 miles, which converts to roughly 68,400 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.

The configuration

Low range plus a locking differential is the full working specification. The transfer case gives a second reduction for torque at walking pace; the diff lock forces both rear wheels to turn together so that one wheel lifting or spinning on wet clay does not strand the truck. Neither is common on imported kei trucks and the combination is rarer still.
