1998 Mitsubishi Minicab · 4WD · 24,206 mi

A Japanese import you can buy now — this 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab, finished in White. It came out of Japan as 4WD with a manual transmission. Recorded against chassis U42T-0514608.

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.

The odometer sits at 24,206 miles, in the order of 39,000 km in the original units — a modest figure for a Mitsubishi kei vehicle returning from Japanese service.

Reading the specification

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.

Mid-band pricing on a kei truck generally reflects a sound, unremarkable specification — the four-wheel-drive, five-speed, flat-bed combination that the majority of buyers are looking for in the first place.
