1998 Mitsubishi Minicab · 4WD · 7,985 mi

Looking for a Mitsubishi? We have a 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab — the paint is down as Red on the lot. The drivetrain is 4WD and the gearbox is manual. The plate on this one reads U42T0527428.

The U42T Minicab, in context

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.

The odometer sits at 7,985 miles, in the order of 12,900 km in the original units — a modest figure for a Mitsubishi kei vehicle returning from Japanese service.

What it is for

A 4WD Minicab is a conventional cab-over kei truck with the front axle available on demand. What distinguishes the line is the hardware Mitsubishi offered around it — crawler gears, power-take-off provision and dump bodies fitted on the production line rather than by a converter afterwards.

At this level a 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab is priced above the volume band, which in this market normally reflects a later generation, an unusual drivetrain specification, or factory equipment that did not come as standard.

The buying process

A 1998 build date places this vehicle beyond the 25-year threshold that governs importing a non-US-market car into the United States. The paperwork side — import documentation and title — is our job, and we deliver anywhere in the US. The figure is $10,017, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
