The S100-series Hijet, in context

The S100 codes cover the rear-drive Hijets Daihatsu built from 1994 to 1999, with the 659cc EF three-cylinder under the cab floor. This is the generation that gave the Hijet its characteristic forward-set cab and long bed, and Daihatsu bodied the same chassis as a flat-bed truck, a panel van, a deck van and a long list of factory work conversions. Few vehicles of any size have been built in more variations.

The reading is 30,900 miles, which converts to roughly 49,700 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.

What it is for

Rear-wheel drive is the standard configuration for Daihatsu's kei commercials and the one most of them were built in. Without a front axle and transfer case there is less to service, less to go wrong and slightly less weight to carry around, which on a vehicle with a 660cc engine is not nothing. For sealed surfaces — a yard, an estate road, a campus, a market — it is all the drivetrain the job needs.

This truck is priced on request. Our guide to kei truck pricing explains the bands the market works in if you want a sense of the range before you ask.
